What it is
The Worcester Bosch 87161064450 is an automatic air vent used in the hydraulic circuit of Worcester and British Gas badged gas boilers. It releases trapped air from the heating water continuously while the system runs, which prevents air locks that would otherwise cause noise, poor circulation and unstable system pressure. The valve is a direct replacement for the item originally fitted across a large number of Greenstar and earlier Worcester British Gas appliances.
Signs this part needs replacing
- Gurgling, bubbling or rushing water noises coming from the boiler casing
- Radiators that stay cold at the top, or a system that needs bleeding repeatedly
- Boiler pressure that drifts downwards and needs regular topping up
- Water weeping or dripping from the vent body or its connection
- Air collecting in the pump or heat exchanger, leading to lockout or noisy operation
Before you order
- Check the GC number on the appliance data badge against the compatibility list, as the same boiler range can use different hydraulic components.
- Confirm the number on the original vent matches 87161064450 before ordering.
- Inspect the sealing washer or O-ring at the vent connection and renew it if it is compressed or perished.
- This part is fitted to a gas appliance; installation must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
