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.
