Jmp Equipment Company 401485-78 Water Vent Valve

Product Description

The JMP EQUIPMENT COMPANY 401485-#78 is a water vent valve designed to control or release air and gases trapped within water distribution or hydronic systems. Vent valves of this type serve a critical function in maintaining proper flow and pressure by allowing unwanted air pockets to escape without fluid loss. This component is typically installed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians working on hydronic heating loops, water supply lines, or similar closed-loop water systems where air entrainment can degrade system performance.

The 401485-#78 water vent valve is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic heating applications. It is used in scenarios where consistent venting of air from a water circuit is required to maintain pressure integrity and flow efficiency. Installation typically occurs at high points in a piping system where air naturally accumulates.

Key Features

• Designed to vent trapped air and gases from water distribution or hydronic piping systems
• Supports pressure integrity by preventing air lock conditions in closed-loop systems
• Compact valve form factor suitable for installation at system high points
• Appropriate for use by licensed plumbing and HVAC professionals

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement water vent valve for use in plumbing and hydronic water systems where air venting is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any valve components. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines during installation. Inspect surrounding piping and fittings for wear or corrosion before placing the new valve in service.
