    Washdown Weather Resistant Breather Vents

    These breather vents are rated NEMA 6 to withstand periodic submersion in water. Install them in enclosures to stop the buildup of pressure and vacuum and to prevent debris from entering equipment. Breather vents can be used with enclosures that are rated NEMA 4, 12, and 13 for washdown environments and splashing oil and coolant.

    Style A

    Use the bypass tube on these plugs to add air, water, and other fluid to your pipeline or to relieve pressure while testing. The seal expands to temporarily close off pipe openings.
    Style A—For Style A, twist the wing nut to expand the seal. They have an NPS threaded bypass for routing moderately pressurized fluids.
    Maximum Air Back Pressure—Maximum air back pressure is the amount of pressure a plug can withstand without moving.
    Maximum Water Back Pressure—Maximum water back pressure refers to the pressure resulting from the height of the water above the plug.
