Flamco Flexvent Automatic Air Vent G 1/2" M – 27740

Flamco offers a comprehensive range of automatic floating air vents, and Flexvent air vents have proven themselves in the market for decades. That reputation is the reason to specify one: these are the vents installers fit when they don't want to come back.

The Flexvent consists of a closed brass housing with an interior made entirely of plastic. The water level lifts the float and keeps the air valve mechanism closed. When air collects in the housing, the water level drops, lowering the float and opening the vent valve. The collected air is vented, the water level rises, and the valve closes again — repeating for as long as air enters the system.
