Altecnic Discal Brass Automatic Air Separator 1

The Discal Brass Automatic Air Separator 1 is an air separation component manufactured by Altecnic, supplied under the Discal product name. It is used in heating installations to separate entrained air from system water, allowing the air to be released rather than circulating through the circuit. The body is brass, and the unit is listed under the Altecnic air separation model range.

• Persistent air in the system after repeated venting, with radiators requiring frequent bleeding
• Noisy circulation, gurgling or rumbling through the pipework and heat emitters
• Cold spots at the top of radiators or uneven heat distribution across the system
• Pump noise or reduced flow indicating air is not being separated and removed
• Visible weeping, corrosion or staining around the separator body or its connections

• Confirm the separator size required against the existing installation, as the size designation forms part of the product reference
• Check that the system layout and connection arrangement match the Altecnic air separation configuration
• Verify the part reference 551706 against any documentation held for the appliance or system
• Confirm whether the system is drained and isolated before carrying out replacement work
