Keep radiators air free, save energy, and reduce fuel bills
heating | shopping | energy efficiencyThe
Aladdin Auto Vent is a product designed to automate the bleeding of radiators. Over time air can build up in a central heating system which results in the tops of radiators feeling cool when the bottom is very hot. This
increases the energy required to power the central heating, increases the speed of
corrosion inside the radiators, and can make the system
noisy in operation.
Using a
radiator key it is possible to
bleed the radiators of this air, but most people do not bother doing this messy (particularly when done incorrectly!) and easy to forget task.
Aladdin Auto Vent
The
Aladdin Auto Vent from
NLB Engineering is a
de-aeration valve which
automatically removes air and gas from radiators. It is available in two sizes:
Standard HV30 for standard 1/2" BSP thread (pictured above and below).
and
Micro for use with roll-top, designer, and cast iron radiators with 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 1/8", and 1/4" BSP thread.
The
Auto Vent should be fitted on the hot side of the radiator which is the coolest at the top. This should vent the whole system - i.e. there is no need to fit an Auto Vent to every radiator in the system. Only an
adjustable spanner is required for installation which requries no great DIY skills.
The Auto Vent valve will last
3-5 years before its cartridge will need replacing. At this stage the radiator will start to collect air again, but the Auto Vent
will not start to leak. Replacing the cartridge should take "
less than one minute".
