Breathable Explosion-Proof Valve

The Breathable Explosion-Proof Valve is a specialized safety device designed to provide ventilation, pressure equalization, and explosion protection in one compact unit. This waterproof and breathable Explosion-Proof Valve allows controlled air and gas exchange while preventing the accumulation of hazardous gases inside sensitive enclosures such as battery packs, chemical containers, or industrial equipment housings.

Built with a durable aluminum alloy body and featuring an IP68/6K9K protection rating, this explosion-proof vent valve delivers superior environmental resistance, making it suitable for demanding outdoor and industrial environments.

Key Features of the Breathable Explosion-Proof Valve

1. Explosion-Proof Design
   The valve’s explosion-resistant structure effectively prevents internal overpressure from igniting volatile gases, ensuring maximum safety in hazardous locations.

2. High Breathability with Controlled Ventilation
   Designed for continuous pressure equalization, this breathable vent valve allows air and gas exchange while minimizing moisture and dust ingress, thanks to its high permeability rate (≥1000 ML/min @1.5kPa and ≥2000 ML/min @2.5kPa).

3. Waterproof and Dustproof (IP68/6K9K Rated)
   The IP68/6K9K protection class makes this waterproof explosion-proof valve ideal for outdoor or harsh industrial conditions, protecting sensitive components from water, dust, and environmental contaminants.

4. Aluminum Alloy Body for Durability
   The aluminum alloy housing offers excellent corrosion resistance, lightweight performance, and long-term durability even under extreme working conditions.

5. Precise Opening Pressure Range
   The opening pressure is finely tuned between 7~13 kPa, ensuring reliable venting when internal pressure exceeds safe limits.

6. Large Exhaust Area for Rapid Pressure Relief
   Featuring a fully open exhaust area of 1620 mm², the explosion-proof air release valve enables quick and efficient gas evacuation, reducing the risk of overpressure-related failures.

7. Internal Flange Type with 4-Hole Mounting
   This internal mounting explosion-proof valve offers secure and easy installation with a 4-hole flange design, making it suitable for a wide range of equipment.
