Add a filling port to your hydraulic tank while protecting against excess pressure and vacuum. Breather vents stop debris from entering your tank. Mount them on top of standard tank openings with included hardware.

Secure access to vented openings in pipe and tanks—the cap can be locked to prevent tampering. These breather vents allow you to add a filling port to your hydraulic tank while protecting against excess pressure and vacuum. Use them to stop debris from entering your tank. Breather vents mount on top of standard tank openings with included hardware. Padlock is not included.

These breather vents withstand corrosion in damp environments. Use them to prevent excess vacuum and pressure in cylinders, gear boxes, and tanks and to block debris from entering equipment.

Polyethylene breather vents can be cleaned with mineral spirits.

Stainless steel breather vents stand up to higher temperatures than polyethylene breather vents. Those with a Viton® fluoroelastomer O-ring offer extra protection against leaks. 316 stainless steel breather vents resist corrosion better than 303 and 304 stainless steel breather vents.

Keep moisture, dirt, and debris from entering your oil reservoirs. The silica gel inside these breather vents absorbs moisture from the air, preventing rust from forming inside your tanks. The gel changes from blue to pink as it becomes saturated, letting you know it needs to be replaced. A second filter blocks dust and other particles from getting inside. These breather vents allow air to flow in and out of your lubrication system, keeping excess vacuum or pressure from building up in cylinders, gear boxes, and tanks.

Breather vents with a plastic body are clear, so a quick glance will tell you if the gel is saturated. Unlike steel versions, which can be rebuilt, the entire unit must be replaced when fresh gel is needed. For washdown environments, select breather vents with check valves. These valves allow air to flow in and out, but close when liquids try to enter.

For an extended service life, use breather vents with a steel body. They are stronger than breather vents with plastic bodies and hold up better when exposed to chemicals. A window lets you check the color of the gel. No need to replace the entire unit when the gel is saturated—use rebuild kits to add fresh gel and to replace the window, filters, and gaskets.

Safe for use around hazardous gasses and dust, these vents maintain steady pressure and prevent moisture buildup from temperature changes inside enclosures. They allow air to flow through the enclosures while protecting the contents from washdowns, dirt, and weather. Install these vents at the lowest point on an enclosure, so moisture can drip out.

Increased-safety drains keep sparks, high temperatures, or current creepage inside an enclosure, so they won’t ignite flammable gasses and dust.

Flameproof drains reduce the risk of igniting flammable gasses and dust if an explosion occurs within the enclosure.

Glass-filled nylon drains are lightweight yet durable. They’re good for most areas.

316 stainless steel drains stand up to corrosion. They’re best for areas with salt water.
