Additional Product Information
This vertical drum vent is specifically designed for use with flammable or reactive chemicals that require automatic pressure and vacuum management. It automatically opens at a set pressure threshold (3–8 psi) to prevent dangerous drum swelling or rupturing due to environmental heat or chemical reaction. This vent is especially important when storing drums in areas exposed to sunlight, elevated temperatures, or fire risk...
Its dual-action design also prevents vacuum lock during fluid dispensing, allowing for smooth, chug-free operation. The integrated stainless steel flame arrestor adds a crucial layer of safety by blocking ignition from external vapor sources. For any facility storing volatile or hazardous chemicals, this vent provides a simple yet powerful protective solution...
