FloraFlex Air Bleed Valve - 3/4-in Male Pipe Thread - PVC

Clear Trapped Air From Your Mainline - 3/4-in Male Thread

Air trapped in an irrigation line can block flow and make feedings uneven. This valve installs on a mainline and lets air escape as water begins to flow. When water reaches the valve, it closes and water moves freely through the line, which gives you better control over how accurately each feeding is delivered.

This is a single-unit listing, suited to a home gardener fixing one trouble spot or a grower adding a valve to a single mainline. Growers with several lines can order one for each high point or run they need to protect.

Key Features & Benefits

• Automatic air venting — air is forced out as water starts to flow, which helps prevent air locks.
• Self-closing action — the valve closes when water reaches it, so water continues down the line.
• 3/4-in male pipe thread — threads into a matching female fitting on the mainline.
• PVC construction — a body made for water-line use.
• Rated pressure range — operates up to 80 psi and opens when pressure drops below 5 psi.

Who Should Use FloraFlex Air Bleed Valve

Use it if your hydroponic mainline develops air locks, or if uneven feedings point to trapped air. It suits indoor and commercial cultivation setups with a 3/4-in female threaded port on the line.
