Protective Vents
Snap-In Series
FAST, RELIABLE INSTALLATION
AND DURABLE PROTECTION
Harsh or changing environmental conditions cause pressure changes that can stress outdoor enclosure seals
to failure, allowing contaminants to enter and damage sensitive electronics.
GORE
®
Protective Vents Snap-In Series 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.
Venting Solution for any application
GORE
®
Protective Vents Snap-In Series delivers robust
venting performance and consistent, long-lasting
protection, even in very harsh environments. Engineered
for use in high-throughput (semi- or fully-automated)
production lines, they also allow quick and easy manual
installation. All Snap-In Series vents are manufactured
with 100% in-line quality inspections; most are
individually
laser-marked for full product traceability.
Choose the performance option that meets your
application needs:
▪
GORE

PolyVent Hysi offers fast, economical
integration, and the option to inside-mount for
nearly-invisible installation. For enclosure volumes
up to 2 liters.
▪
GORE
®
PolyVent XS is 30% smaller than PolyVent
Standard, for light-weight, thin-walled enclosures
with volumes up to 5 liters.
▪
GORE
®
PolyVent Standard offers reliable
performance in many applications, for enclosure
volumes up to 5 liters.
▪
GORE
