Resideo FV180 Air Vent
The Resideo FV180 is a high-performance, spring-loaded float type air vent engineered for efficient air removal in closed hydronic heating and cooling systems. Built with a durable brass body, this 1/8" NPT automatic air vent features a patented fulcrum design that delivers a venting rate 3 to 4 times higher than standard competitive models. Specifically designed to handle the accumulation of air released during the heating of cold water, the Resideo GoldTop air vent maintains optimal system heat transfer and prevents air-bound noise and pump cavitation. Capable of operating across a wide pressure spectrum from 1 psi up to a 150 psi maximum pressure, it is a versatile solution for both residential and commercial applications. The HVAC automatic air vent supports operating temperatures up to 240°F, ensuring reliability at the high points of the boiler or air purgers where trapped air frequently settles. For the veteran contractor, this unit provides a reliable, "one-fits-all" concept to simplify inventory while ensuring high-capacity performance in demanding hydronic loops.
Key Benefits for Technicians- High Venting Capacity: The patented fulcrum mechanism ensures significantly faster air discharge compared to traditional float vents.
- Versatile Pressure Range: Engineered to function reliably in systems ranging from 1 to 150 psi.
- Brass Construction: Rugged brass body for long-term durability in 240°F hydronic environments.
- Simple Installation: Standard 1/8" NPT male connection fits common boiler and air purger tapings.
- Serviceable Design: Features a removable float and valve assembly for easier maintenance and cleaning of debris.
Where is the best location to install the FV180?
Install the vent at high points in the system or on top of air purgers and boilers where air naturally collects to maximize venting efficiency.
How do I activate the venting process?
After installation, simply loosen the thumb cap to allow the internal float mechanism to release air automatically.
Can this vent be used in chilled water systems?
Yes, the Resideo FV180 is rated for both heating and cooling applications, provided the fluid is water or a glycol-water mix.
