The American Water Works Association had this guide written to assist those who will choose, locate and/or install air valves for water use (it doesn't contain the AWWA standard, which is a separate publication). The use and principles of air valves are discussed in an introduction, the remainder of the pamphlet discusses the various types of valves, methods for locating them, the design of their orifice size, water hammer effects, installation, operation, and safety. Each chapter contains clear diagrams and bibliography. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
