Air scoop/spirovent, not much room

[nwomatt]

I was going to put an air scoop off the top of my top tank. As you can see I am limited for space. Can i just put the bleeder into the top of the tank? Can I put the air scoop right off the top of the boiler once I go horizontal with pipe before I gain the altitude? Then I was reading about the spiralvents on here. But they look a bit taller yet. I also saw somewhere that they can go on a vertical pipe. Maybe on the way up to my highest horizontal pipe. Not sure what to do. If i put tanks all the way to floor ill have room but I raised them Sony would get thermosiphon in power outages. ????

If you have a free tapping in the tank and you can service the valve later there is no reason that you can't simply bush the holt to 1/8" and screw the mechanical vent directly in the tank. A tank will make the best air/water separator there is!

That's what I was thinking. Ill make it work that way. Anyone want to buy an airscoop? Thanks for all the help on here everyone. It's nice to have people to bounce things off of. Appreciated.

Or even run 1/8" pipe or 1/2 PEX to the outside from under the insulation over and down to a little ball valve.
