Default Auto air vents (plumbing)

They have a little float in them. If air appears, it falls ans opens a valve
in the top.

You can dismantle and clean any crud out and clean the valve seat and
needle. (They can stick a bit or get something on the valve seat.)


I have come across another type, where a material gets wet, causing it
to swell and thus acts as a valve.
