Worcester Buderus 500 24C 24S 28C Auto Air Vent 7099180

Product Overview

The Worcester Buderus 500 Boiler Automatic Air Vent (Part Number: 7099180) is a replacement air-release component associated with selected Buderus heating systems.

The automatic air vent forms part of the boiler's hydraulic circuit, helping to release trapped air from the central heating system during operation.

By allowing accumulated air to escape, the vent helps maintain proper water circulation, reduce air-related noises and support reliable heating performance.

This part may be available in New or Refurbished condition. Please select your desired option from the dropdown menu above. Refurbished components should be professionally inspected and tested for correct operation and leakage before installation.

Technical Insight & Common Failure Symptoms

The automatic air vent is a mechanical component designed to remove accumulated air from the boiler's heating circuit.

Automatic air vents typically use an internal float mechanism that opens to release trapped air and closes when water rises within the vent chamber.

Over time, the vent may be affected by internal contamination, corrosion, deterioration of sealing components or problems with the float mechanism.

Possible symptoms that may indicate an automatic air vent or associated heating system problem include:

• Air remaining trapped within the boiler or heating circuit.

• Gurgling or bubbling noises during heating operation.

• Water dripping or leaking from the automatic air vent.

• Vent failing to release accumulated air correctly.

• Reduced water circulation associated with airlocks.

• Intermittent heating performance caused by trapped air.

• Visible corrosion or deterioration around the vent body.

These symptoms do not necessarily confirm a faulty automatic air vent, as similar problems may result from system leaks, circulation faults, incorrect filling procedures or other hydraulic components. Correct professional diagnosis should be carried out before replacement.

Compatibility

This part (MPN: 7099180) is associated with selected Buderus 500 24C, 24S and 28C boiler systems.

Please verify the exact boiler model, original part number, connection dimensions and component specifications against the manufacturer's technical documentation before ordering to ensure correct fitment.

Safety Advice

Boiler automatic air vents and associated hydraulic components should only be inspected, removed or installed by a suitably qualified and competent heating engineer.

Always isolate the appliance and allow the heating system to cool before carrying out any work. The heating circuit must be safely isolated and depressurised before removing the vent. Follow the manufacturer's servicing instructions and complete all required pressure, leakage and operational safety checks before returning the boiler to service.
