Vented Screws are specialized fasteners that designed to allow air, gas, or liquids to escape. They prevent pressure buildup and contamination. Depending on your application, they can range from miniature waterproof breather plugs to industrial valves or threaded fasteners with hollow centers.
Vented Screws: Fasteners featuring a drilled center hole. In high-vacuum systems or blind-tapped holes, they prevent trapped air from causing outgassing or contamination.
- Vacuum & Automation:Speeds up pump-down times and eliminates gas pockets in vacuum chambers.
- Industrial Machinery: Releases heat and pressure buildup in oil pans, gearboxes, and crankcases.
- Outdoor Electronics: Equalizes pressure caused by temperature changes to prevent seal degradation.
- Water Sports: Relieves air pressure caused by heat expansion inside sealed hollow surfboard or SUP cores.
