The Pegler Yorkshire Air Release Valve 15mm is an essential plumbing component designed for professional plumbers and homeowners looking to maintain system efficiency in both domestic and commercial heating setups. Its primary benefit is the automatic expulsion of trapped air from pipework, which prevents noise, circulation blockages, and corrosion within the system. The main caveat is that it must be installed in a high-point location to function effectively, as air naturally gathers at the highest elevation of a water system.

Yes, standard plumbing practices apply. Use an adjustable wrench for the nut, but be careful not to overtighten and crack the valve housing.
No, an air release valve must be mounted vertically (upright) to function, as the internal float mechanism relies on gravity.
This valve is designed for heating and plumbing circulation systems; always verify your local plumbing codes regarding potable water components.
Lifespan depends on water quality and system maintenance; however, Pegler components are designed for long-term use in standard residential conditions.
It is rated for standard domestic and light commercial water pressures; check the packaging for specific bar ratings.
Check if the internal float is jammed by debris or scale; clean or replace the valve.
Ensure the valve is located at the absolute high point of the system and that no other components are blocking the air path.
Verify the system pressure is correct and that the valve is free of mineral deposits.
To install, ensure the water system is fully drained and depressurized before cutting into the 15mm pipework. The valve should be mounted vertically, facing upward, at a high point in the pipe circuit. Ensure all joints are sealed using appropriate plumbing tape or compound to prevent leaks. Compatibility is generally high with standard 15mm copper piping. For care, periodically inspect the valve for any signs of weeping or calcification. If the valve fails to release air or starts leaking, it may need to be unscrewed and cleaned of debris or replaced entirely to maintain the integrity of the heating circuit.
