AstralPool – Air Purge Valve 1″ for Vic Filter Ø1200

This is the genuine AstralPool 1″ air purge valve (position 3 in the official exploded view) designed specifically for the Vic Filter Ø1200 1½” 1.0 M 2.5 Kg/Cm² (parent reference 11512N). Mounted in the filter lid, it allows trapped air to be fully expelled from the filter vessel quickly and safely, maintaining efficient filtration and correct operating pressure. Keeping this valve in perfect working order is essential for the reliable day-to-day performance of large commercial and public pool filtration systems.

Compatibility

This air purge valve is a direct OEM replacement part engineered exclusively for the AstralPool Vic Filter Ø1200 1½” 1.0 M rated at 2.5 Kg/Cm² (SKU 11512N). The Vic range is AstralPool’s industrial bobbin-wound sand filter series, covering diameters from 1050 mm to 3000 mm, and the 1″ connection on this valve delivers fast, efficient air and water venting as specified by the manufacturer. Always verify your filter’s model reference before ordering to ensure a precise fit.

Why Genuine Matters

Using an authentic AstralPool spare part guarantees correct thread sizing, pressure rating compatibility, and material quality matched to the original design. Aftermarket alternatives may not seal reliably at the filter’s rated 2.5 Kg/Cm² operating pressure, risking air locks, leaks, or premature failure. A genuine part also preserves any applicable warranty on your Vic Filter installation.

Installation

The air purge valve fits at position 3 on the official Fluidra/AstralPool exploded diagram for this filter model, making part identification and replacement straightforward for qualified pool technicians. The 1″ threaded connection allows for tool-assisted fitting and removal. It is recommended that installation or replacement is carried out by a trained professional to ensure a leak-free seal and correct torque.
