air valve
Pneumatic flow controller
An air valve is a device that controls the flow of air into or out of a system.
In plumbing, air valves release trapped air from pipes to prevent water hammer and maintain proper flow.
In tires and inflatable objects, an air valve allows air in during inflation while preventing escape: Check the air valve if your tire keeps losing pressure.
