Clean Air Vent for Steam

LA6 Series

Air vent for clean steam applications with easy disassembly for cleaning

The clean air vent for steam operates by utilizing the temperature difference between steam and air, and is used to discharge air in steam piping and steam-using equipment. The body itself is of two-part construction and is clamped for easy disassembly and cleaning. Several models are available with different degrees of interior and exterior finishes.

Benefits and Features

Easy to disassemble and clean

The body is of two-part construction with clamps for easy disassembly and cleaning. Other clamps available on request, contact TLV for more details.

Stainless steel construction

To prevent corrosion of components, the body, X-element, and other wetted parts, as well as the clamp, are made of SUS316L material with high corrosion resistance. Recommended for use in pure and clean steam systems

FDA, USP, and EN compliant materials used for gaskets

The gasket is made of FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration), USP (U.S. Pharmacopoeia), and EN (European Pharmacopoeia) compliant resin.

Choice of buffed or electropolished internal and external surface finish

LA6-P polished to 0.8 pm Ra internal and 1.2 pm Ra external, with an electro-polish option to further resist bacterial growth.

X-Element

The X-element opens and closes 22°C below saturation temperature to discharge air or other non-condensable gases.

Application Areas
