Flexvent: Improved design

Under the name ‘Flexvent’, Flamco offers a comprehensive range of automatic floating air vents.
Flexvent air vents have proven themselves in the market for decades. Flamco has improved the Flexvent automatic floating air vent even further in terms of both the design and execution.

The Flexvent floating air vent consists of a closed brass housing and an interior made entirely of plastic.
The water level lifts the float and keeps the air valve mechanism closed. When air collects in the vent housing, the water level drops, lowering the float and opening the vent valve.
The collected air is vented, allowing the water level to rise and the air valve to close again.
This process will keep repeating as long as air enters the Vent housing during normal operation.
