shall be capable of releasing undissolved air from hydraulic system while at
the same time preventing oil from leaking out of the system. The valve shall
be capable of operating with the air vent valve outlet in the range of
positions from vertical to 80 degrees from the vertical position in any
direction. Venting of air may be continuous upon system pressurization or
intermittent based upon system pressurization and depressurization. Detailed
operating requirements and pressure levels shall be is listed in the
applicable military specification sheet.
3.4.1 Joints. The automatic air vent valve design shall incorporate the
minimum number of external joints. Consideration shall be given to bonding
any valve housing joints by permanent methods. Screw threads shall conform to
MIL-S-8879.
3.4.2 Lockwire. Lockwire holes shall be provided as specified in the
military specification sheet. All threaded screws and joints shall be locked
as specified in MIL-H-8775.
