Aladdin EasyFit Isolator Valve and Tools Pack - Starter Kit

Product Information

No. Aladdin Autovents do not leak. The Hygroseal™ range is guaranteed to operate for 5 years and guaranteed leak-free for life. All Aladdin Autovents contain a patented mechanical valve that closes to a water-proof seal when water gets to the internal mechanism of the valve. 6) Can I fit Autovents to a new system? We have two 6mm models. One is called the Micro Barlo which has an extended length thread and a conical tip. The other is the Micro 6mm which has a short 6mm thread.

BSP is approximately 14.5mm. If you use the ¼” BSP thread for your radiator, then it will need PTFE tape fitted on the outside of the bush. If a system continues to lose pressure after the first 2 weeks or so of being filled, this can only be due to water loss, i.e a leak. 9) On a Closed system, can a radiator continue to collect air without there being a water leak? Unable to freeze flow of water, you can still install EasyFit to pipes with moving water, without the need to turn off the main external / internal service valve.Your inside stop valve is inside your house and is normally located just after the water pipe enters the house. This is often under the kitchen sink, but can also be:

Using your inside stop valve should be easy and you should be able to operate the valve yourself. How to turn your water off using the inside stop valve The Micro Barlo fits ‘Roll-Top’ radiators. These have a rolled over steel smooth top to the radiator panel. The left and right edges are welded seams. One model has the bleed pin facing to the wall and on a double panel a second bleed pin also faces outwards. Once your radiator begins to feel cold at the top, air has begun to build and the Autovent needs to be replaced. Our Autovents have a unique patented design which means at the end of the product life they will seal shut. 5) Don’t all Automatic De-aeration valves leak? It may take a few turns to stop the water. You'll usually get to a point where you can’t turn it anymore. You shouldn’t need to use excessive force to turn it further. It may also take a few minutes for the water to stop running from your taps, as there will be some water left in the pipes from before you turned the water off.Provides an effective and robust product for all plumbers, maintenance engineers, water companies, housing associations and the DIY market. The EasyFit Isolator is a full-flow valve which reduces flow by just 2% (@ 5 bar 30 lit/min) so flow will be 98% of the flowrate prior to fitting the valve. 4. Is the EasyFit Isolator guaranteed? A CenterRad Centerbrand radiator has a little well on the end of the roll top radiator facing end out from the radiator. This also uses the Micro Barlo. This valve needs no oring seal but seals on the cone end of the valve stem. b) where a radiator is higher than the water tank, in which case when the pump stops running a vacuum forms (e.g in loft conversions).

The EasyFit Isolator saves time cooling, draining down, refilling and returning to de-aerate. The bigger the system, the bigger the saving. No more freezing kits and the risk that an ice plug will fail. The HV30 model or OEM model (Original Equipment Manufacturer) is a lower cost ½” BSP version with exactly the same mechanism inside, lasting the same amount of time. Our 1/8” BSP comes with a ¼” chromed adaptor which is 1/8” BSP on the inside and ¼” BSP on the outside. If isolating a mains water feed in a multi-occupancy building, save time notifying and inconveniencing neighbours

Having problems?

Yes, this is possible. Some plumbers suggest that on the suction side of the pump micro-gaps in joints could allow air ingress, yet when the pump is off (and the pressure equalises to the c. 1.6 bar of normal operation) the micro-gaps are too small to allow water egress. 10) Can corrosion inhibitors be used with an Autovent?
