Product description
Automatic pressure relief ensures safe workplace. No more worrying about pressure building up in your drums. These safety drum vents automatically relieve pressure between 3 and 8 psi (30 to 55 kPa). Vents are tested to allow 61 cubic inch (1-L) of water through a 3/8-in (9.5-mm) pipe nipple in less than 6 seconds. Keep the vent in closed position to prevent flammable vapor from escaping. A built-in flame arrester helps absorb and dissipate heat for added safety. Vacuum relief is automatic on vertically installed vents and manual on horizontally installed vents. Drum vents are FM Approved.
