Protective Vents
Screw-In Series
INCREASE DURABILITY
IN HARSH ENVIRONMENTS
Harsh or changing environmental conditions cause seals to fail and allow contaminants to damage sensitive
electronics. GORE
®
Protective Vents effectively equalize pressure and reduce condensation in sealed enclosures,
while keeping out solid and liquid contaminants. They improve safety, reliability and service life of outdoor
electronic devices.
GORE

Protective Vents Screw-In Series is engineered to provide oleophobic protection and withstand the
mechanical
stresses of challenging environments. Choose from a full range of sizes and performance options
to meet all your application needs.
Venting solution for any application
▪
GORE
®
PolyVent XS has a compact, low-profile
design that meets some of the industry’s toughest
standards, making it ideal for today’s smaller (up to
2 l) housings.
▪
GORE
®
PolyVent Standard offers reliable venting
for volumes up to 5 l, and comes in two colors and
two thread sizes for different wall thicknesses, with
or without a counter nut.
▪
GORE
®
PolyVent High Airflow has the protection
level of “Standard”
–
with nearly 10 times the airflow.
For housings up to 50 l, it easily manages the strong
pressure differentials caused by extreme weather.
▪
GORE
®
PolyVent XL maintains exceptionally high
airflow in extra-large enclosures (volumes up to 200 l)
and meets the most rigorous standards, such as solar
resistance (IEC 62108).
▪
GORE
®
PolyVent Stainless Steel offers exceptional
durability, chemical and corrosion resist ance, to
reliably protect enclosures up to 20 l in the most
rugged environments. IK10 (IEC 62262) performance.
▪
GORE
®
PolyVent Ex+ is both IECEx and ATEX certified
for equipment operating in potentially explosive
environments and offers exceptional venting
performance for enclosures up to 20 liters in volume.
Benefits of GORE
®
Protective Vents
Screw-In Series:
▪
Simple to install: ensures fast and safe
integration for durable performance in any
application.
▪
Increased safety: the rugged screw-in
construction, improved cap design and O-ring
keep the vent reliably secured in the housing.
▪
Reliable protection: even after immersion, the
GORE Membrane blocks contaminant ingress.
▪
Rugged durability: engineered for chemical,
UV and temperature resistance, and hydrolytic
stability.
▪
Product quality: 100% quality control, plus
full traceability for all vents with thread size
M6 and M12.
▪
Flammability resistance: All PolyVent cap,
body and O-ring materials are rated UL 94 V-0.
PolyVent XS, Stainless Steel and Ex+ also
incorporate a UL 94 VTM-0 rated membrane.
▪
Reduces condensation: by allowing air exchange
