Resideo PV-020RP PV SuperVent Vent Top Replacement, New Style, 90 Degree, is a replacement vent head for selected Braukmann SuperVent air eliminators, used to restore automatic air venting performance on hydronic heating systems.
Key Features:
- OEM Resideo Braukmann replacement vent top for PV SuperVent air eliminators
- New-style 90 degree vent head design as specified for updated PV models
- Includes automatic float vent mechanism housed in the replacement top assembly
- Designed to restore reliable air removal without replacing the full SuperVent body
Compatibility & Applications:
- Intended for use on compatible Resideo Braukmann PV SuperVent models that specify PV-020RP as the correct vent top replacement
- Used in closed-loop hydronic heating and cooling systems where automatic air elimination is required
- Suitable for residential and light commercial hydronic systems when the vent mechanism has become fouled or inoperative while the body remains serviceable
Installation & Operation Notes:
- Isolate the SuperVent from system pressure where possible and confirm that temperature and pressure are within safe limits before servicing
- Follow Resideo Braukmann instructions for removing the old vent top from the SuperVent body
- Install the PV-020RP vent top on the existing body, ensuring threads are clean and sealing surfaces are properly engaged
- Orient the 90 degree outlet in the desired direction and tighten according to manufacturer guidance
- After installation, restore system operation and verify that air is being released and that no leakage occurs at the vent connection
Maintenance & Troubleshooting:
- Inspect the vent periodically for signs of seepage, mineral buildup, or blockage at the outlet
- Replace the vent top if air elimination is inconsistent, if the float mechanism sticks, or if leakage persists after cleaning
- Maintain system water quality and follow recommended treatment practices to reduce scaling that can affect vent performance
