AIr-collection chamber below manual air vent
AIr-collection chamber below manual air vent
(OP)
Hello
Can anyone provide a picture or schematic of a manual air vent and air-collection chamber assembly for removing air from a clear water system. I just read about the air-collection chambers and have not seen them on the field so I'm not sure what a correct installtion looks like.
Also isn't it always preferred to use an automatic air vent instead of manual?
Much obliged for any info.

RE: AIr-collection chamber below manual air vent
So you have been looking at the wrong surface of the pipe; look farther up.
I have never encountered an automatic valve that continued to operate automatically for more than a year. Most of them don't last nearly that long. That's why many people specify manual valves; they'd rather not harbor an illusion.
