Resideo FV180A Air Vent
The Resideo FV180A Goldtop Universal Air Vent is a heavy-duty solution designed to automate air purging in hydronic heating systems and cooling loops. Featuring a 1/4" NPT male connection, this brass automatic air vent is engineered for versatile implementation across systems ranging from 1 to a 150 psi maximum operating pressure. Its patented fulcrum design provides a venting rate up to four times higher than standard vents, effectively preventing air binding and system noise in residential and commercial applications. Built to withstand high-demand environments, it maintains performance at an operating temperature up to 240°F. For technicians, this unit serves as a universal stock item that handles the requirements of most boiler-top and air-purger installations. The spring-loaded, float-type mechanism ensures reliable, leak-resistant operation and rapid response to air accumulation, maintaining optimal heat transfer efficiency throughout the plumbing network.
Key Benefits- Universal Compatibility: Rated for systems from 1 to 150 psi, reducing the need for multiple stock parts.
- Enhanced Venting Capacity: The patented design allows for significantly higher air discharge rates compared to traditional vents.
- Industrial-Grade Materials: Corrosion-resistant brass construction ensures long-term reliability in high-temperature hydronic loops.
- Precision Control: Features a spring-loaded float mechanism for consistent performance under fluctuating pressures.
- Efficient Purging: Automatically removes unwanted air to prevent pump cavitation and thermal inefficiency.
Where is the best location to install the FV180A? To maximize efficiency, install the vent at the system’s highest point, on top of the boiler, or directly on an air purger where bubbles naturally accumulate.
What maintenance is required for the thumb cap? During normal operation, the thumb cap should be loosened to allow air to escape. If the vent must be sealed temporarily for system testing, the cap can be tightened down.
Can this vent be used for steam systems? No, the Resideo FV180A is specifically designed for pressurized water (hydronic) systems and is not rated for steam applications.
