AET 150 Psi Air Vent

This valve allows for the release of air trapped in a system, thus preventing air locks. This valve is usually installed at the high point of a system. A dust cap is necessary to keep dirt out but must be loose to work properly.

Miscellaneous Components

If you're building your own solar water heating system, here's a whole collection of those minor bits and pieces needed to get things working right.  Now that you have your collectors, pumps, heat exchangers and storage tanks chosen, you will probably need a few of these components to finish connecting everything into a fully functioning system.  If you have any questions, you might take a look at one of AET's complete systems that is comparable to yours. Alt-E University has a  good seminar on Solar Water Heating. We also offer several good books on the topic, and of course, you could always drop us a note or give us a call.
