Taco Air Vent Sfty Drn Ftg Vent x 1/4"

The Taco Hy-Vent Safety Drain Fitting (TACO-AV-SD) adds an extra layer of leak protection to your Taco air vent installation. Also known as the Hy-Vent Waste Connector, this fitting screws onto the outlet of Taco Hy-Vent air vents to channel any discharge safely away, preventing water damage in the rare event that a vent leaks or weeps during its service life.

Automatic air vents work hard in hydronic and closed-loop systems, continuously releasing trapped air to keep circulation smooth and efficient. Over a long service life, the small possibility of a vent dripping or leaking always exists, and in finished mechanical rooms or living spaces, even a minor, slow leak can lead to costly damage to flooring, ceilings, and nearby equipment. The Hy-Vent Waste Connector addresses that risk directly by giving any escaping water a controlled path to a drain or waste line.
