Why Do Airlocks Occur? Airlocks occur when bubbles in the pipeline gather at a high point in the system. If the water velocity is not greater than the rising velocity of the air bubbles, the air will remain in the pipe and cause a restriction.
Why do I keep getting airlocks?
Airlocks happen when air is trapped in the system. This air forms a blockage which gets in the way of the hot water as it makes its way to the taps or the central heating system. An airlock in the hot water system will prevent water from coming out of the affected tap.
