FAQs

How do I know if the Auto Airvent is working?

You should hear a hissing sound as air is released from the radiator. Also, the radiator should heat up more evenly without cold spots.

How often should I replace the cartridge?

The cartridge lifespan depends on the water quality and system usage. Inspect it periodically and replace it if it stops venting air.

Can I install the Auto Airvent on any radiator?

It is compatible with radiators with standard 1/2" BSP tappings. Make sure your radiator's vent fitting matches this size.

Do I need to turn off my heating system to install the Auto Airvent?

Yes, always turn off your heating system and let it cool down before installing or removing the Auto Airvent.

What should I do if the Auto Airvent leaks?

Tighten the Auto Airvent connection. If the leak persists, check for any damage and replace the unit if necessary.

Is any special tool required for installation?

You may need a wrench or pliers to remove the existing vent and install the Auto Airvent.

Where can I buy a replacement cartridge?

Replacement cartridges are usually available from the same place you purchased the Auto Airvent.

Check if the valve beneath the Auto Airvent is fully open. Ensure the system is properly balanced and that no other blockages exist.
