The basic installation process typically starts with preparing the installation site. This involves cleaning the opening of the sealed enclosure to remove any dust, oil stains or debris that might affect the sealing performance. A clean surface ensures tight contact between the vent plug and the enclosure, preventing air leakage or contaminant intrusion later on.

Next comes the fitting of the vent plug. Most models adopt snap-on, thread-in or adhesive fixing methods.

Snap-on types: You only need to align the vent plug with the opening and apply gentle pressure until it clicks into place securely.

Threaded vent plugs: Can be installed by rotating them into the threaded opening manually, without the need for additional tools like wrenches in most cases.

Adhesive-backed variants: Simply require peeling off the protective film and attaching the plug firmly to the designated position, pressing slightly to ensure full adhesion.

After installation, a simple inspection is sufficient to confirm success. Checking whether the vent plug is firmly fixed, with no gaps between it and the enclosure, is enough to ensure proper functionality. Unlike complex mechanical components that require precise calibration, air permeable vent plugs do not need tedious adjustment steps.
