A gas venting mechanism includes a valve chamber that is at least partially filled with a liquid. At the top of the chamber, an outlet valve allows the gas to escape but retains the liquid. Air is admitted to the chamber through an inlet valve that prevents backflow of the liquid into a passage by which the gas is supplied. The chamber is transparent so that the venting of gas can be verified by observation. A piston that reduces the effective volume of the chamber facilitates testing of the chamber for leakage of the liquid. The venting mechanism can be advantageously combined with a degasser in an aircraft hydraulic system.

A venting mechanism for discharging a gas from a fluid system comprising: a valve chamber at least partially filled with a liquid; a passage by which gas to be vented is supplied to said valve chamber below the level of said liquid; and outlet valve means at the top of said chamber for automatically permitting the escape of said gas from said chamber and for preventing the escape of said liquid from said valve chamber; at least a portion of said valve chamber being transparent to permit observation of said liquid as vented gas passes therethrough, thereby providing visual verification that said gas is being vented.
