This 1/8-inch adjustable steam radiator air vent uses a coin-slot setting to change the venting rate, so heat can be balanced across a one-pipe steam system without special tools. It vents air on a steam call and closes when steam reaches it.
Key Features:
- Coin-Slot Adjustment -- Set the venting rate with a coin -- no special tool needed.
- Adjustable Venting Rate -- Slow the rate on near radiators, open it on far ones for even heat.
- Automatic Close -- Closes when steam or heat reaches the valve.
- 1/8 in. NPT Connection -- Threads into the radiator vent tapping.
- One-Pipe Steam -- For low-pressure one-pipe steam radiator service.
Where to Use:
- Building maintenance -- Replacing failed or noisy radiator vents on one-pipe steam systems
- Steam system balancing -- Dialing the venting rate room by room to even out heat between near and far radiators
- Property heating upkeep -- Tunable vents for apartment buildings where rooms heat unevenly
