Gore thread type breathable valve can improve the safety and reliability of sealed outdoor electronic equipment, and extend the service life of the equipment. Even in harsh environments, these breathable valves can:
1. Quickly balance the pressure difference through bidirectional air exchange to reduce sealing stress in the sealed shell and minimize condensation.
2. Reliable blocking of solid and liquid contaminants from entering the casing to protect sensitive electronic components. Even after the breathable valve is immersed in liquid, it can continue to provide long-lasting protection.
3. It has a longer service life and superior mechanical stability. These threaded breathable valves have outstanding chemical resistance, UV resistance, temperature resistance, hydrolysis stability, and flame retardancy. One of the stainless steel breathable valves has the highest level of mechanical shock resistance: IK10 (IEC 62262); Another type of stainless steel vent valve has been certified by IECEx and ATEX for equipment operating in potentially explosive environments.
The threaded breathable valve with plug and durable O-ring can achieve fast and safe integration, and help to reliably fix the breathable valve on the housing, providing long-term pressure balance and effective protection for outdoor electronic devices in various challenging applications
Application:
Public, commercial, and industrial lighting
Telecommunications towers, systems, and components
Solar energy, power grid, and batteries
Heavy construction, material handling, and agricultural equipment
Monitoring, security, tracking, and surveillance systems
Advantages of Gore Thread Breather Valve Series:
Gore's thread series product portfolio includes six performance options, suitable for various housing materials, housing volumes, and application requirements, such as IK10, UL-94 V-O, or "Ex+" grades.
Gore thread type breathable valve offers two options: fully breathable membrane structure and laminated structure. These flexible and compact breathable valves can be easily installed in compact spaces without affecting the simple exterior design of the casing. All products use Gore's proprietary waterproof breathable membrane made of 100% expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), which can provide oil and water repellent protection up to IP68, while Gore's most compact breathable valve can provide outstanding protection up to IP69K.
Each threaded breathable valve must undergo online quality inspection by Gore before shipment. All M6 and M12 threaded vent valves are labeled with independent laser serial numbers to provide complete product traceability.
