Vent Plugs and Filters
Vent Plugs with Filter can be used to relieve pressure
or vacuum on bearing housings, gear boxes, reservoirs, or any application where venting is
necessary. These vent plugs assure pressure equalization and minimize undesirable problems,
such as bearing seal blowout due to excessive pressure. The vent plugs allow air to freely
communicate through a 40 micron filter. The filter is easy to clean just
unscrew the hex cap on top, remove filter element, clean, and reassemble.

Vent Plugs with Deflectors
Vent Plugs with Deflectors are simple, sturdy and
are of one-piece construction which makes the plug safe for use anywhere. High in quality
and low in cost, these units are used on bearings, gear boxes, reservoirs, and similar applications,
wherever the necessity of pressure or vacuum relief exists. They can also serve
as filler plugs. They are equipped with a splash deflector which prevents the liquid
from spilling into the vent hole and outside. To allow air to communicate freely with
the outside, no screens or filters which might make the units inoperative are used.

Vent Plugs with Filter and Check Valve
Vent Plugs with Filter and Check Valve is similar to
the A-3432 series, however, it has a check valve which is designed to allow air to pass through
it in one direction only. Pressure from the opposite direction immediately closes the
valve eliminating fluid loss. The vent plug allows air to freely communicate through a
40 micron filter. Easy to clean - just unscrew the hex cap on top, remove filter element,
clean, and reassemble.

Liquid Filters
Liquid Filters principle use is for small individual
components such as Sight Feed Valves, Spray Valves, Oil Cups, etc. where it is desirable to use
one filter with each component. The 40 micron filter element can be easily removed for
occasional cleaning or for the replacement of the element itself. An idea of the capacity
of the filter can be visualized from a test of 750 SSU liquid at 70º F. gravity feed with a 6 inch
head. This resulted in a flow of 1/2 ounce per minute. The maximum pressure of the unit
should not exceed 125 PSI.
