Description
Armstrong International A5345 Thermostatic Air Vent
The Armstrong International A5345 is a precision-engineered thermostatic air vent designed specifically for use with Armstrong’s B Series Float & Thermostatic (F&T) steam traps. By automatically venting non-condensable gases and air from the steam system, this component helps maintain peak thermal efficiency, reduces system warm-up times, and prevents air binding that can lead to poor heat transfer and energy waste.
Product Overview
Thermostatic air vents play a critical role in steam heating and process systems. When air and non-condensable gases accumulate in a steam trap or distribution line, they act as insulators — reducing heat transfer and forcing the system to work harder. The A5345 thermostatic air vent addresses this challenge by opening to release trapped air when temperatures are below steam temperature, then closing automatically as steam arrives to prevent steam loss.
