Solar air vent for heating and cooling systems

This compact FLEXVENT Top Solar 3/8 inch solar air vent, equipped with a ball valve, is a reliable solution for installers and users of heating and cooling systems. The device effectively removes air from the installation, ensuring its optimal performance and long-term operation. The design has been tested by the manufacturer, which guarantees high quality and reliability.

Construction and application

The air vent is made of dezincification-resistant brass and is designed for use in closed systems with a maximum medium temperature of 180°C and a working pressure of up to 10 bar. The integrated ball valve allows for easy isolation of the air vent during servicing or maintenance of the installation. This means that replacing or repairing the device does not require shutting down the entire system. The possibility of using it with media containing up to 50% antifreeze extends its range of applications.

Key features:

• Brass construction: ensures durability and corrosion resistance, even in harsh operating conditions.
• Ball valve: facilitates servicing and maintenance of the installation without the need to drain it.
• Wide temperature range: can operate in systems with a medium temperature of up to 180°C.
• Glycol resistance: permissible antifreeze content up to 50%, allowing use in installations protected against freezing.
• Leak protection: the design of the air vent minimizes the risk of leaks, ensuring safe use.
• BSPT-R (ISO 7-1 / EN 10226-1) external thread: ensures compatibility with most standard installations.

The technical specifications include: nominal diameter of 3/8 inch (10), maximum working pressure of 10 bar, maximum medium temperature of up to 180 °C, housing and valve made of dezincification-resistant brass, height of 131.4 mm, outer tube diameter of 17.2 mm, connection length of 54 mm, air flow rate of 1.92 m³/h and a net weight of 0.42 kg.

This air vent is a solid choice for both professionals involved in the installation of heating and cooling systems and for users looking for a reliable solution to maintain the optimal performance of their installation.
