Boiler vent valve

The patent-pending boiler vent valve from Webstone, a brand of NIBCO, is a space-saving valve that expands the utility of a boiler’s existing 3/4-in. pressure relief valve (PRV) port, capitalizing on its location at the top of the unit as the ideal placement for an air vent and other accessories. Its automatic air vent can be isolated for service, allowing the PRV, included with the boiler or sold separately, to operate unobstructed. Plugged FIP ports also accommodate the installation of a low-water cut-off device and/or pressure gauge. www.
