Auto air bleeders

Hello all..

Just wondered which brand of automatic float type air bleeders you prefer for hot water systems…? Whether it's installed directly on a radiator (fin tube) or a main line somewhere.

Which ones do you all prefer for reliability and functionality ?

    I'm not a heating pro, just a homeowner/engineer, but I like the Caleffi Minical 5020 series. I just put two on our boilers. They're very well made and work reliably.

    I would use the simple manual "peanut " bleeder up stairs … Auto bleeders have a higher chance of leaking …

    There was an error rendering this rich post.
