The valved reflux design often has no cap at the top of the reflux section and if it does it usually has a 3/8" - 1/2" vent hole...

That being said, there are easier and cheaper designs that perform just as well if not better than the valved reflux... Check out the Bokakob inline dual slant plate liquid management column... Far less components, dead simple to build, and a proven performer...

Please stop by the Welcome Center and give the membership a proper introduction...
