Q:Is there a service check valve that you would recommend work with this air vent? I've searched for some but they specify to work with Taco 400 series or specific caleffi models. Was not sure if those check valves would work with this air vent.

      A:  Yes. It must be in the open position(unthreaded) enough for air to escape. Just received one to replace a Taco model. Simple to test. Blow into the inlet. Air passes through until cap is closed.
