Product Type | Oxygen Removal Vent |
Reduce Corrosion with Automatic Venting
The Tyco® Model TAV-W Wet Air Vent provides automatic venting of trapped air in wet pipe fire sprinkler systems to help reduce corrosion caused by trapped oxygen. Venting the trapped air in a wet pipe sprinkler system may also decrease water delivery time and reduce false water flow alarms.
The TAV-W is also equipped with brass components that allow the device to be installed in areas subject to external corrosion. The pressure gauge is designed to be visible from the floor below the Wet Air Vent from approximately 30 feet to confirm functionality.
