Key Features
Float-Operated Venting
As air collects in the vent body the internal float drops, opening the release valve; the valve closes automatically as the fluid level recovers.
System Protection
Continuous automatic air release helps reduce oxygen-driven corrosion, trapped-air noise in emitters and cavitation at circulator pumps.
