Screw-in Vents Sealing Performance

Material Selection

High-quality materials are crucial for optimal sealing performance:

  • Vent body: Stainless steel or engineering plastics with excellent corrosion resistance
  • Sealing components: O-rings made of EPDM (ethylene-propylene-diene-monomer) or Viton
  • EPDM offers good resistance to water and weather
  • Viton is suitable for more aggressive chemicals

Proper Installation

Key installation requirements:

  • Threads must be clean and free of debris
  • Torque to recommended value - avoid over/under tightening
  • Over-tightening may damage threads or seals
  • Under-tightening leads to leakage

Inspection & Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures long-term performance:

  • Periodically check for wear, cracks, or deformation
  • Replace worn-out seals promptly
  • Focus on material quality, correct installation, and routine upkeep
