Des-Case DC-VG-3 1 in. Multi-Fit (NPT, BSPT, NPSM) VentGuard Desiccant Series Breather – 1.4 lbs. Silica Gel

Description

Des-Case DC-VG-3 1 in. Multi-Fit (NPT, BSPT, NPSM) VentGuard Desiccant Series BreatherDes-Case VentGuard™ breathers have check-valve technology that isolates the system and only ‘breathes’ when necessary, making them an ideal solution to protect low-flow applications with intermittent operations. Check valves provide slight system pressurization that allows for controlled breathing without excessive pressure build-up. The system breathes only when pressured to do so, and then the air is cleaned and dried before it is introduced into the system, ensuring a clean, dry headspace. This control mechanism also prevents premature saturation of the silica gel and extends breather life, a problem not as easily tackled by standard desiccant breathers exposed to extreme moisture. Applications: Gearbox, Pump, HydraulicsOperating Environments: Pulp & Paper, Forestry & Building Products, Food & Beverage, Steel & AluminumFeaturesDomed Cap: A domed cap allows for better washdown runoffIntegrated Nylon Standpipe: The integrated standpipe provides excellent vibration resistance and dissipates impact throughout the unit, eliminating weak points. It also allows even airflow distribution throughout the unit, eliminating inaccurate readings of desiccant saturationExternal Ribs: External ribs on shell to create greater durability and grip when installing or replacing breatherIntegrated Drip Ring: An integrated drip ring keeps shedding water from entering the vent holesThreaded Mounting: Easily replaces standard filler/breather cap with multi-fit connection or one of several adaptersAir Vents: Individual air intakes are opened based on flow requirements of the system. Plugs protect unit during shipping and storageFoam Pad: Foam filter captures any oil mist and disperses incoming air evenly over filtration and drying areasFilter Element: Polyester filter element removes airborne contamination to 3-micron absolute. Unique loops allow particles to release during system exhalation, helping to increase breather lifeEnhanced Seal: An enhanced seal eliminates potential for airflow bypassSpecificationsUnit Height: 8 in. / 203 mm.Unit Diameter: 4.10 in. / 104 mm.Connection Size: 1 in.
