Sta-Rite Air Release Valve with O-Ring for PXC, System:2 PLDE and Posi-Clear Filters
Quick overview
- Valve and o-ring together Supplied as the air vent stem assembly complete with its o-ring, so the sealing part is not a separate order.
- PXC series filter systems Listed for the Sta-Rite PXC line.
- System:2 PLDE modular media filters Also listed for the PLDE modular media filter.
- Posi-Clear cartridge filters Covers the Posi-Clear cartridge filter as well.
- Bleeds air on startup The valve is how trapped air is pushed out of the tank before the filter goes to work.
- A stuck vent is a real problem A valve that will not open leaves air in the tank, and a valve that will not close sprays water off the pad.

Product details
Sta-Rite 24206-0103S is the air release valve for PXC series filter systems, the System:2 PLDE modular media filter and the Posi-Clear cartridge filter. It is supplied as the air vent stem assembly with its o-ring included.
What the valve is for
Every time a filter tank is opened and closed it takes on air, and that air collects at the top of the tank where it cannot be pushed out by flow alone. The air release valve is the vent that lets it go. Skip that step and the filter runs with a pocket of compressed air above the media, which makes the pressure gauge read oddly and the tank surge.
Why the assembly and not just a seal
The usual failure is the o-ring on the stem going hard, at which point the valve either sprays whenever the pump runs or refuses to open at all. Because the valve and its o-ring come together here, the whole sealing surface is replaced at once rather than fitting a new ring onto a stem that has already been scored.
