What it is
The Worcester Bosch 87185050140 is an automatic air vent, also listed as an automatic purger, used within the Greenstar family of combi and condensing boilers. It sits on the hydraulic circuit and continuously releases air that collects in the system, so the appliance can circulate water without airlocks or noise. It is a direct replacement component for the original fitment across a wide spread of Greenstar models.
Signs this part needs replacing
- Gurgling, whooshing or kettling noises from the boiler or pipework
- Air repeatedly collecting in the system and needing manual bleeding
- Water weeping or dripping from the vent body or its seating
- System pressure falling with no visible leak elsewhere on the circuit
- Cold spots at the top of radiators despite regular venting
