bottle air vent ???
Guys,
How do these bottle air vents work? Tried to search on the web and can find nothing. I have just bought one and when I shake it something solid rattles inside. I am replacing the one that is seized up and sits at the top of a piece of pipe in my airing cupboard. Does the rattling bit press against something internally when full of water? It has 3/8 connection and a sort of twist valve at the top (like the top of a biro pen). Should that twist valve bit be screwed tight or loose? Thanks, Steve |

The rattle is the float inside. They vent until the float rises on the column of water, then seal against the outlet at the top. You can remove the cap and prod the float down with small probe to check they are not stuck. -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.co.uk |
