Gore’s portfolio of screw-in breather vents provides multiple levels of protection for sealed outdoor electronic devices that must withstand the most extreme weather conditions and temperatures … as well as the mechanical stresses they can cause. Gore screw-in vents can improve the safety, reliability and service life of your sealed outdoor electronic devices. Even in the harshest environments, these vents:

• Rapidly and responsively equalize pressure differentials to reduce seal stress in sealed enclosures, through bi-directional air exchange that also reduces condensation.
• Reliably keep solid and liquid contaminants from entering the enclosure, to protect sensitive electronics.  This durable protection persists even after the vent has been immersed in liquid.
• Provide added longevity and mechanical stability. These screw-fit vents are engineered for chemical, UV and temperature resistance, hydrolytic stability, and flammability resistance. One of our stainless steel vents provides the highest mechanical impact resistance rating: IK10 (IEC 62262); another is IECEx and ATEX certified, for equipment operating in potentially explosive environments.

Gore’s Screw-In Series portfolio includes six performance options designed for a range of housing materials, enclosure volumes and application requirements as diverse as IK10, UL-94 V-O or “Ex+” ratings.

GORE Protective Vents for screw-in installation are available in both all-membrane and laminate constructions. These flexible, low-profile vents are easy to install in tight spaces, and won’t compromise the look of the most streamlined enclosure designs. All include our proprietary GORE Membrane of 100% ePTFE, which provides both oleophobic and hydrophobic protection at levels up to IP68 and, for all but our most compact vent, IP69K.

Every Screw-In Series vent undergoes in-line quality inspection at Gore before it is shipped. All vents with M6 and M12 thread sizes are individually laser-marked, to provide full product traceability.

And of course, the Screw-In Series is backed by Gore’s global technical support personnel and facilities that ensure you can count on our promise: Our products will do what we say they will do.
