Taco Comfort Solutions 436-5 — 3″ NPT Air Scoop
The Taco Comfort Solutions 436-5 is a 3″ NPT Air Scoop engineered to eliminate entrained air from closed-loop hydronic heating and cooling systems. By continuously separating and venting air from circulating water, this air scoop protects system components, improves heat transfer efficiency, and extends the service life of pumps, boilers, and piping.
Why Air Elimination Matters
Entrained air in hydronic systems is a leading cause of noise, corrosion, reduced efficiency, and pump cavitation. The Taco 436-5 Air Scoop uses a low-velocity chamber design that causes air bubbles to rise and collect, where they can be vented from the system — keeping water clean and flow consistent.
