Armstrong Fluid Technology 272005-300 Hydronic Accessory
The Armstrong Fluid Technology 272005-300, also known as the Model AVA-013, is a high-performance hydronic accessory designed for the continuous removal of trapped air in heating and cooling systems. Built with an automatic air vent mechanism and a durable brass body, this component ensures peak system efficiency by preventing air-related issues such as corrosion, cavitation, and excessive operating noise. This specific model features a 1/8" Male NPT connection and an angled discharge, making it ideal for tight installations where vertical clearance is limited. With a maximum working pressure of 150 PSI and a maximum working temperature of 248 degrees F, it's engineered to withstand demanding commercial and residential HVACR environments. By maintaining a vacuum break during system drainage and utilizing a float-operated valve, the 272005-300 provides a reliable, self-contained solution for air elimination without the need for manual intervention.
Key Benefits:- Enhanced System Longevity: Automatically removes entrained air to protect pumps and heat exchangers from cavitation and oxidative corrosion.
- Quiet Operation: Eliminates gurgling and system noise by purging air pockets that disrupt fluid flow.
- Compact Integration: The 1/8" Male NPT threaded connection and angled discharge allow for versatile placement at high points in piping.
- High-Temperature Durability: Rated for temperatures up to 248°F, making it suitable for high-efficiency boiler applications and solar thermal systems.
- Maintenance Ready: Includes a manual shut-off cap to prevent water expulsion during system filling or specialized maintenance cycles.
Where is the best place to install the AVA-013?
For optimal air elimination, always install the unit at the highest point of the hydronic system or at locations where the flow velocity decreases, allowing air to collect.
Does this air vent require manual bleeding?
No, the Armstrong 272005-300 is an automatic air vent that uses an internal float mechanism to release air as it accumulates. However, it features a manual cap that should be opened one full turn for standard automatic operation.
Can this be used as a vacuum breaker?
Yes, the AVA-013 acts as a vacuum break when the system is being drained, allowing air back into the pipes to ensure smooth gravity drainage.
