This large-capacity steam air vent purges air from a one-pipe steam radiator or riser so steam can advance, then closes when steam reaches it. It carries a 1/2-inch NPT female and 3/4-inch NPT male straight shank for higher-flow venting points.
Key Features:
- Automatic Air Venting -- Opens to release air, then closes when steam or heat reaches the valve.
- Higher-Capacity Vent -- Larger body moves more air than a standard 1/8-inch radiator vent.
- Dual Shank -- 1/2 in. NPT female and 3/4 in. NPT male straight connections.
- Non-Adjustable Port -- Single fixed orifice; non-vacuum.
- Pressure Rating -- Maximum operating pressure 6 psig; maximum pressure 10 psig.
Where to Use:
- Building maintenance -- Replacing failed, noisy, or spitting air vents on one-pipe steam radiators and convectors
- Steam system balancing -- Sizing vents by distance from the boiler so radiators heat evenly across the building
- Property heating upkeep -- Seasonal vent replacement in apartment buildings and older steam-heated properties
