Intatec – iAir Vent 1/2″ Automatic Air Vent Valve AAV007

This air vent is designed for efficient, automatic removal of trapped air from sealed heating systems when a system is filling with water, without the need to drain the system. The air vent reduces, and often eliminates, the need for bleeding. This air vent features a vacuum break on the base of valve to prevent an air lock forming and to encourage air to be released from water.

Installation:

The air vent should be installed at any point on the positive side of a system where air collects in an accessible and visible are to ensure it can be serviced easily. The enure efficient opertaion when installed on a horizontal pipe run, a short upstand should be provided. The body can be twisted against the brass base and the integral stop valve will shut off the water flow. This enables the cover valve and float to be removed for inspection and cleaning.

Check Valve:

Sometimes system dirt may get under the seat of an automatic air vent causing a leak. The air vent is fitted with a check valve for ease of cleaning and maintenance. There is no need to turn the water off as the check valve stops any leakage whilst the seat is being cleaned.
