The device also comprises a second venting path for the water and second intercepting means, set along this, which are suitable for opening the second passage to deliver the water. The first intercepting means can be influenced by the water to go from the open configuration to the closed configuration, so that when the air has been vented out, the water reaches a set greater pressure limit, opens the second intercepting means and can be delivered outside.
