Product Details
The Justrite® 08300 brass horizontal safety drum vent is designed specifically for petroleum-based applications, providing a safe solution for filling and storing liquids. This vent alleviates pressure build-up in drums containing flammable liquids, which can occur due to heat, and prevents vacuum formation during liquid drainage or sudden cooling. Capable of automatic pressure relief between 3 PSI (20 kPa) and 8 PSI (55 kPa), the vent ensures safety against catastrophic leakage or explosion in the event of fire. Depending on the installation type, vacuum relief is either automatic for horizontally installed vents or manual for vertically installed vents. The product is rigorously tested to allow one liter (61 cubic inches) of water to pass through a 3/8" (9.5 mm) pipe nipple in under 6 seconds, and remains closed to prevent flammable vapor escape. Additionally, each safety drum vent includes a flame arrester for enhanced safety and comes with a limited warranty of 1 year.
