Hi all,
The Q&A for https://www.screwfix.com/p/bottle-air-vent-15mm/34359 stipulates that the automatic air vent can be installed horizontally, which I find strange, do you think this is correct or a mistake?
I need to replaced a damaged 1/2" or 3/8" air vent with side entry but not sure about the best way forward.
The main question is how can I determine if the thread if 1/2" or 3/8"? (sorry I am not very knowledgeable is imperial measurements)
- If it is 1/2":
a) I could simply purchase https://plumbing4home.com/automatic-air-vent-12-inch-15mm-valve-side-entry
or
b) convert from 1/2" to 15mm using https://www.screwfix.com/p/p802-08-male-elbow-15-x/44344 and then install the 15mm air vent https://www.screwfix.com/p/bottle-air-vent-15mm/34359?activeTab=qaTT
- if it is 3/8":
c) would I have to convert from 3/8" to 1/2" first (using https://www.screwfix.com/p/bush-x-3-8/87443)? and then use solution a) or b) above
d) or shall I simply use a 3/8" male to 3/8" female elbow converter such as https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/hydraulic-elbow-threaded-adaptors/7972003/ and then install https://www.screwfix.com/p/bottle-air-vent-3-8/76650?
Any tip / advise on what to use would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Ant
