removes air entrapped in the hot water heating
system, air is dispersed by the internal agita-
tors of the air separator as the water is recircu-
lated within the heating system piping and
removed by the float vent installed in the air
separator.
For most systems the AS-B will provide superi-
or air separation with minimal inlet/outlet piping
length, optimum operation is achieved with
laminar flow. See Table 1.
