    Protect against excess vacuum and pressure in cylinders, gear boxes, enclosures, manifolds, and tanks. You can also use these breather vents to block debris from entering equipment.
    Splash Guard—Breather vents with splash guard are good for containers that are often filled and drained; they have a guard that prevents oil from splashing out of the vent hole.

    Compact Pressure-Relief Valves

    Due to their small size, these valves are often installed on tanks in low-clearance areas. They begin opening at the set pressure. Nylon valves fully open at about 10% over the set pressure and steel valves fully open at about 50% over the set pressure. Valves begin closing as pressure drops and fully close when the system pressure is restored below the set pressure. All have a vent outlet to exhaust discharge directly. Set pressure is not adjustable.

    Pressure-Relief Valves for Oil

    These valves are often used in hydraulic and lubrication systems. They begin opening at the set pressure and fully open at about 10% over the set pressure. Valves begin closing as pressure drops and fully close when the system pressure is restored below the set pressure. Adjust the set pressure within the range.
