What it is

The Worcester Bosch automatic air vent, part 87161061420, is a float-operated air release valve fitted in the pump section of the Junior Series boiler range. It removes air that collects in the central heating circuit so water can circulate freely through the system. A float inside the body rises as the chamber fills and closes the vent; when air builds up and the water level drops, the float falls and the vent opens to discharge it.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • Gurgling or air noise from the boiler or pump area
  • Kettling, banging or rumbling as the boiler heats up
  • Water weeping or dripping from the vent body
  • Radiators heating unevenly, with cold spots at the top
  • The vent failing to seal once the system is full and pressurised

  • Check the existing vent against part number 87161061420 and alternative number 1014837.
  • This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
