Air Vent Valve

Samyang’s air vent valve eliminates air-related problems and prevents pipeline corrosion by
automatically discharging air generated in construction facilitie’s cold/hot water pipelines, water
supply and water heating pipelines, as well as plant’s cold/hot water pipelines and tanks. In
addition, it automatically takes air in when liquid is discharged from pipelines and tanks, thereby
ensuring easy discharge by preventing a creation of a vacuum.

V a l v e
YAC-3 Type Air Vent
This is a compact air vent valve that is used for pipelines, hot water boilers, fan coils,
and small- to medium-sized pressure tanks. The adoption of the BBC (Bubble Crush)
method ensures safe operation and prevents water hammers, hunching, etc.

Features
•Bubble Crush(BBC) structure prevent Water Hammers & chattering caused by float in special form
10 distributes rising pressure & bubbles.
•Reliable operation is ensured by spring’s force seat closing.
•Simple & strong structure.
•Compact & outstanding air discharge performance.
•Manual closing device installed on outlet side.
•Manufacture as air vent valve for steam.

Installation method and cautionary
measures
1. Install it vertically (within 5˚).
2. When installing indoors, connect the outlet side to
the drainage.
3. Install a manual valve on the inlet side.
4. In case of leakage, close by using the handle.

Measures in case of leakage

1. In case of leakage, close the manual valve on the
lower part of the air vent, open the cap, check
if there are any foreign substances on top of the
disc or seat, wash the foreign substances away, if
any, and then resume normal operation.
2. When reassembling, take caution so that the float
