    VC Series/VS1C/SA3

    Continuously discharge air and gas that build up inside water supply pipes

    Automatic air vents feature a relatively small orifice and are suitable for discharging air and other gases during normal operation. By installing them in places where air tends to accumulate, it is possible to prevent issues caused by air trapped in water supply pipes.

    Air vents can also help to prevent a vacuum from forming in pipes. When the main valve is open and pressure inside the pipes falls below the pressure of the surrounding atmosphere, air will enter the valve, preventing vacuum conditions from forming and allowing liquid to be easily passed downstream.

    Due to the relatively smaller discharge capacity of automatic air vents, in cases where it is necessary to discharge large amounts of air/gas rapidly upon startup, it is best to use these products in combination with a dedicated rapid initial air vent.

    Benefits and Features

    Automatic Air Vents (all series)
    • Simple construction with no levers or hinges
    • Only one moving part: the Free Float®. This eliminates concentrated wear and provides long service life.
    • Can function as a vacuum breaker by allowing air to flow in when a vacuum forms
    • Provides a tight, reliable seal
    VC Series
    • Precision-ground float, rubber valve seat
    VS1C Series
    • High precision-ground float, 3-point seating
    • Can be used with liquids with specific gravities as low as 0.8
    SA3 Series
    • Light-weight, compact
    • Auxiliary valve seat enables maintenance during operation
    • Provides a tight seal, even at pressures as low as 0.01 MPa

    Application Areas

    Automatic air vents are suitable for:

    • processes which require the continuous discharge of air/gas under normal operation conditions
    • water supply pipes, cooling & heating equipment (SA3, VC)
    • use in small and narrow installation spaces (SA3)
    • fan coils, radiators, and other air conditioning equipment (SA3)
    • suitable for non-water liquid processes (VSC1, non-flammable and non-corrosive liquids only)

      *When rapid discharge of large quantities of air is required upon startup, please use together with a rapid initial air vent.
