Ventti

Ventti is a Finnish shorthand for venttiili, meaning a valve or vent used to control the flow or pressure of liquids or gases in a system. The term is common in Finnish technical language; venttiili is the formal word.

Common types include check valves that prevent backflow; globe and ball valves that regulate flow; needle valves for precise control; safety or relief valves that release pressure; and vent valves that release trapped air or operate as vents in ventilation systems.

Applications span automotive engineering, where intake and exhaust valves control the entry and exit of gases in engines; plumbing and heating, where valves regulate water or gas flow and prevent backflow; HVAC, where vents remove air pockets and regulate pressure; and industrial processes, where control valves adjust flow in response to process signals.

In everyday use, ventti is commonly employed in informal or colloquial contexts, while venttiili remains the standard form in manuals and technical documentation.
