AV2000C Thermostatic Air Vent
 |
HOW IT WORKS
The thermostatic air vent contains a welded stainless steel thermal element that expands when heated and contracts when
cooled. When air and non-condensable gases are present, the valve is in the open discharge position. When steam reaches the air vent the element expands and closes valve off tightly.
FEATURES
- Welded stainless steel thermal element
- Hardened stainless steel seat and disc for extended service life
- Integral strainer to protect from contamination
- Steam pressures up to 650 PSIG
