Go to the Gorton website. It is www.gorton-valves.com. You can also speak to Ken Kunz at (908) 276-1323. Gorton makes terrific air and main vents. I highly recommend them. Ken is the expert and now may be time to switch some out, ahead of the next cold season.

    air elimination

    Where can I find info to help my customers understand the importance of air elimination.
    I had 2 plumbers come in behind me and say the system is ok with the little silver vents and no air seperator.

    More info

    many boilers have built in air separators. Every system does not need a spirovent type air separator. How is it piped? What's the boiler? Who's autovent is installed? Where are they in the system? More info.

    Here's a link

    to an article on the B&G web site.

    Auto air vents in water systems only work when they are installed on an air separation device like an air purger or a boiler chest where the flow velocity is low. Otherwise they typically only vent air when the pump is off.
