Introduction
There are two types of air vents:
Airvent H : Air vent without valve with air pipe,
Airvent V : Air vent with valve, 13 mm (0.5") - 32 mm (1.3")

Installation examples

The air vents can be used in a number of different situations.
N.B.: The numbers refer to the numbers on the drawing.
1 Exhaust System
The air vents can be fitted in the coolant water pipe of a water-injected
exhaust system, with the water-injection point 'C' below, or less than
15 cm (6") above the water-line.

The air vents can be fitted in the outlet pipe of a toilet installed under
the water-line.
Installation
iding
Install the air vent at least 40 cm (16") above the waterline, but not
more than 2 metres (6.6 ft) above the waterline. In a sailing ship, the
air vent should be installed as close to midships as possible, this will
prevent the air vent coming below the required 40 cm (16") above the
waterline when the ship heels under sail.
A supporting bracket including fixing materials is available for the air
vents: MBSET02.
An air vent pipe must be connected to air vents without valve. The air
vent pipe should be fitted so that it drains towards the hull. The hull
outlet should be at least 15 cm (6") above the waterline. This applies to
a sailing ship even when it is heeling under sail.
In the case of installation example 1, a small amount of water will pour
out of the outlet while the engine is running.
An air vent pipe can be fitted to the air vent with valve. This will drain
uiting
away any water leaks.
orens
A 13 mm (0.5") hose can be connected
straight to the bend section connector.

13 mm (0.5") - 32 mm (1.3") connection
connection
If a hose with a larger diameter
is used, a section will need to be
sawn off.
For 19 mm (0.75") diameter hose:
Saw off section A.
For 25 mm (1.0") diameter hose:
Saw off section B.
For 32 mm (1.25") diameter hose:
Saw off section C.
After sawing the relevant section
off, carefully de-burr the connec-
tor.
Fit every hose connection using
a stainless steel hose clamp.
Air vent pipe
Drill a 10 mm (0.4") diameter hole through the ship's hull for the outlet,
and fit with a adhesive sealant. Fit the air vent pipe to the hull outlet
and to the air vent with the hose clamps supplied.
Maintenance
With air vents without valve, check the air vent pipe regularly for
blockages.
With the air vent with valve, the follow-
ing maintenance should be carried out
regularly:
Regularly remove salt, rust and dirt from
all valve components and from the valve
housing by rinsing out with clean water.
Remove the cap (1) in order to take the
valve out of the housing.
Spray the valve components with a Teflon
spray before refitting.
Check the valve operation (vacuum suction on the air vent pipe con-
nection) and the cap sealing before returning to use.
