VENTILATION PLUG

A vent plug is a variant of threaded plugs, which fall into the category of accessories for equipment with threaded holes.

The main function of the ventilation plug is to generate a constant air flow between the equipment and the outside. Like ventilation glands, it works thanks to a valve made of acrylic copolymer compound.

Why use a vent plug or other pressure equalization item?

During the working process, the temperature and pressure increase inside the box. When it cools, the pressure decreases and the air is expelled to the outside. If the change in temperature is very abrupt, the condensation point is reached, an effect that generates oxidation and micro-breakage of the equipment. All of this affects the reliability and useful life of the product, putting the entire equipment at risk.

The ventilation plugs are available in a polyamide version, in nickel-plated brass and in stainless steel. The ventilation plugs are easy to assemble and completely waterproof (IP68).

We recommend the use of ventilation plugs and glands for all installations that require continuous work outdoors, such as luminaires.
