A Milestone Cooperation: WESDUN Exports to Uganda Municipal Water Supply
WESDUN, a globally recognized leader in valve manufacturing and supply, reached a pivotal milestone in April 2026: the company successfully exported a batch of high-performance compound air release valves to Uganda’s municipal water supply sector. This collaboration strengthens WESDUN’s foothold in Africa’s water infrastructure market and helps Uganda improve the efficiency and reliability of its urban water supply. Most importantly, it directly meets the country’s growing demand for safe, stable, and sustainable water services for communities across the nation.
Uganda’s Municipal Water Supply: Needs and Upgrading Goals
Uganda’s municipal water supply system is expanding and upgrading rapidly. The National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC) has set clear goals: by 2029, it aims to extend water services to 25 million people and reduce non-revenue water to 30%. Compound air release valves are critical to this effort—they ensure smooth water transmission by preventing air blockages, water hammer, and pipeline damage, all of which can seriously undermine the stability and efficiency of water supply.

WESDUN Compound Air Release Valves: Design and International Standards
WESDUN’s exported compound air release valves are engineered specifically for municipal water supply. They fully comply with international standards such as ANSI/AWWA C512-2025, a strict benchmark for the materials, design, and performance of air release valves in water service. Equipped with an advanced float-lever mechanism, the valves operate automatically: they release accumulated air at the high points of pipelines during normal operation, quickly exhaust large volumes of air when filling pipelines, and inhale air to balance pressure during power outages or pump shutdowns. This design protects pipelines from deformation or rupture, ensuring long-term operational stability.
High-Quality Materials for Local Adaptability
These valves are made from premium materials: ductile iron or carbon steel bodies, 304 stainless steel floats and levers, and EPDM seals. This ensures excellent corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and a long service life—perfect for Uganda’s local operating conditions. Additionally, their size ranges and pressure ratings are tailored to Uganda’s municipal water pipelines, allowing for seamless integration with existing infrastructure and significantly lowering installation and maintenance costs for local authorities.
