30、equal to the atmospheric pressure in the valve. The valve opens to admit air if there is a subatmospheric pressure at the water inlet, and closes to be watertight when the flow of water is resumed at normal pressure NOTE LA protects against back siphonage. 3.2 pressurised air inlet valve combined wi
31、th a check-valve located downstream “LB“ valve LA with integrated in-line check valve of family E, type EB, located downstream. For the purpose of this document, “pressurised air inlet valve(s)” is (are) hereafter referred to as “device(s)” 4 Nominal size The nominal size of the device shall corresp
