Screw-in Vent Pressure Tolerance
General Specifications
- Standard pressure range: 1 to 15 PSI
- Depends on design, material, and application
- Varies between plumbing, automotive, and industrial uses
- Always check manufacturer specifications
Residential Plumbing
- Primarily for air pressure equalization
- Handles minimal positive/negative pressure (<5 PSI)
- Prevents water trap siphoning
- Not designed for significant pressure
Automotive Applications
- Higher tolerance than plumbing vents
- Typically 10-15 PSI
- Engine crankcase ventilation
- Pressure varies by vehicle design
Industrial Vents
- Made from stainless steel or brass
- Higher pressure ratings (30-50 PSI)
- Wide variation between models
- Critical to match system requirements
