DO NOT use for toxic, flammable or otherwise hazardous fluids.

 

This product is an air vent that discharges air from water piping system.  

Use only for water and/or air.  This product is for intended use only.  

Improper use may result in such hazards as damage to the product or 

malfunctions that may lead to serious accident.

 

WARNING 

 

 

Install properly and DO NOT use this product outside the recommended 

operating pressure, temperature and other specification ranges. 

Improper use may result in such hazards as damage to the product or 

malfunctions which may lead to serious accidents. Local regulations 

may restrict the use of this product to below the conditions quoted.

 

CAUTION 

 

 

Take measures to prevent people from coming into direct contact with 

product outlets. Failure to do so may result in burns or other injury from 

the discharge of fluids.

 

CAUTION 

 

 

Do not use excessive force when connecting threaded pipes to the 

product. Over-tightening may cause breakage leading to fluid 

discharge, which may cause burns or other injury.

 

CAUTION 

 

Installation, inspection, maintenance, repairs, disassembly, adjustment and valve 
opening/closing should be carried out only by trained maintenance personnel. 

1.  Before installation, be sure to remove all protective seals. 

2.  Before installing the product, open the inlet valve and blow out the piping to 

remove any piping scraps, dirt and oil. Close the inlet valve after blowdown. 

3.  This product must be installed vertically, with the inlet at the bottom and the 

outlet at the side. This product must be installed within the allowable angles of 
inclination of 5° vertically and front-to-back (Figure 2).   

4.  Install the product in a location where air is likely to collect, such as a bend in 

the piping.   

5.  To prepare for the unlikely event of a water leak, be sure to run the vinyl tube 

installed on the outlet to a catch pan or a drain pipe. Make sure the end of the pipe 
is above the waterline, so that dirt and water can not be sucked up by vacuum when 
the system shuts down (Figure 1). 

6.  Inlet piping with no horizontal portion is recommended for water/air displacement. If 

there is a horizontal portion, make the pipe diameter of the horizontal portion larger 
than the vertical portion or make the horizontal portion as short as possible.   

7.  Make sure the inlet piping diameter is at least as large as the product

s inlet diameter. 

8.  Installation of an isolation valve just before the product

s main connection is 

recommended as it enables maintenance during operation. A full-bore ball valve 
is recommended. 

9.  Make sure to take measures to prevent foreign matter from flowing into the product. 

If there is a problem, determine the cause using the 

“Troubleshooting” section in 

this manual.
