An air bleed vent for my heating system. I had replaced the original a few years back with whatever new fangled one the local market had, but this is exactly the same one that came out of my system (and looks like it might be the original) so I couldn't resist grabbing this over some slightly less expensive modern design ones.
(This is the style that I put in a few years ago that's already leaking..... https://www.amazon.ca/Hydro-Master-...43614&pd_rd_wg=mOywg&pd_rd_i=B07PQFWWZC&psc=1 )

Those ones are only for trapped piping or manifolds. The one you want for the boiler is this.

Inside the brass air seperator is a stainless screen that pulls micro air bubbles from the boiler loop. After a few days all the air is gone from the water. The one you used will not do that. It's simply for trapped air. Oxygen causes corrosion. If the one you used is for releasing trapped air in a section of the heating system it's fine. Those are exactly the ones I use.
The photo is a boiler I rebuilt last week.
No that tee shaped one needs to be inline before the pump and the expansion goes on the bottom. The idea is the water flowing through it captures all the air from the system. Pretty much required to protect the heating system properly.On something like that, would I be able to block off the two side inlets and put a 1/8 on the bottom? My setup comes directly off of the top of the boiler as opposed to being inline with the pipes. (Pretty sure the one I posted is what this shipped with back in the '60s / '70s )
