Model: P41X, P11X
The automatic exhaust valve is applied for pipeline air‑venting in independent heating systems, central heating systems, heating boilers, central air‑conditioning, floor heating and solar heating systems.
Gas inside the pipeline tends to rise and accumulate at the highest position of the whole system, where the exhaust valve is normally mounted. When gas flows into the valve chamber and gathers at the upper section, internal pressure increases. Once gas pressure exceeds system pressure, the water level inside the chamber falls, the float descends and opens the exhaust port to release trapped gas. After gas is discharged, water level rises and lifts the float to close the vent automatically.
In case of negative pressure occurring inside the pipeline, the water level inside the valve chamber drops and opens the exhaust port. External atmospheric air will flow into the system through the port to avoid damage caused by negative pressure.
The bonnet on valve body shall remain open during normal operation. Tightening the bonnet will disable exhaust function. This exhaust valve can be installed together with a stop valve for convenient maintenance.
