De-aerator

[Jeff]

I am seeking to replace the de-aerator in my CH system with an identical one to minimise the plumbing work. The one fitted is about the size of a drinks can (120mm from top to bottom) and has two adjacent 28mm fittings in the bottom and a single, central 22 mm fitting at the top. I am unable to find another similar as most have a side fitting rather than two at the bottom. Does anyone know of a potential source of a this style of de-aerator?

i am not a pumber or heating engineer, so i have no idea as to what you are refeing to, but is it or could it also be known as an "automatic air vent" only, i found a few of them, but they didnt all have pictures

Myson made a one that sound verry simaler.your best off going to a large plumbers merchants and see first hand whats



available. When you do replace it be carefull not to use to much solder ,you can end up with a small drop inside which will rattle and drive you mad. Cog

Don't know where you'd still get one of these - but I've got one myself in exactly the configuration you describe. It's an 'Airsep' and it's made by 'Tower Flue Components'. I only know this because I've got the original paperwork left by the previous owners of my house. If you do find where to get one, let us all know - me especially, as mine probably won't last forever!

It may be necessary if it is fitted in a low head situation, such as a Glowworm
Ultimate in a bungalow, if it's got one now I would fit a new one of some description.
