What it is
The Hygroscopic Air Vent 3/8 is an Altecnic air release component intended for use with the Altecnic air separation range. It vents trapped air from boiler and heating systems, helping to prevent airlocks and poor circulation. The hygroscopic element closes the vent once air has been released, keeping the assembly sealed against water.
Signs this part needs replacing
- The vent weeps or drips water while the system is running
- Air keeps collecting in the system and repeated bleeding is needed
- Gurgling or rushing noises from the air separation unit or pipework
- Radiators or emitters remain cold at the top after bleeding
- Scale or corrosion is visible around the vent body or cap
Before you order
- Confirm the 3/8 thread matches the connection on the air separation unit
- Check the vent is suited to your Altecnic air separation assembly
- Plan for isolating or draining the system before removing the old vent
- Check there is enough access to fit and tighten the new vent
