The Automatic Air Vent on Your IBC Boiler

The automatic air vent releases air that collects at the high points of a hydronic system. Trapped air causes cold spots, gurgling, and circulation problems; a failed vent either leaks or stops venting.

On IBC systems — including models such as SL 20-160, VFC 15-150, V-10 — a failing automatic air vent often shows up as ignition lockout or related symptoms. We diagnose it precisely and install the correct genuine IBC part.
