What it is

The Hygroscopic Air Vent 1/8 is an automatic air vent manufactured by Altecnic. It is used on Altecnic air separation units to discharge trapped air from the system. The hygroscopic element closes the vent once it contacts water, so the unit seals after air has been released.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • Water weeping or dripping from the vent outlet
  • Air is not being released, leaving airlocks or noise in the system
  • The vent stays open and passes water continuously
  • Scale or corrosion build-up around the vent body or seat

Before you order

  • Confirm the connection size required is 1/8
  • Check the vent is being fitted to an Altecnic air separation unit
  • Inspect the seat and surrounding pipework for damage before fitting
