Drum Safety Vents and Bung Locks

Additional Information

Safety Drum Vents and Fill Vents

Prevent dangerous drum failure while storing flammables—relieve pressure build-up due to heat

• Vents automatically relieve pressure between 3 and 8 psi (30 to 55 kPa) and include a flame arrester
• Vacuum relief during sudden cooling or liquid drain-off
• Valve within the vent is tested to allow 61 cubic inch (1 L) of water through a .375-in (9.5-mm) pipe nipple in less than 6 seconds for vacuum relief during drum dispensing operations
• Vacuum relief is automatic on vertically-installed vents and manual on horizontally-installed vents

Drum vent with Aerosolv® filter

• For vertically-stored drums and has the same protection features of auto venting, auto vacuum relief, and a flame arrester as found in our traditional safety vents—with the addition of a replaceable filter to control fugitive emissions
• Brass body with an activated carbon filter adsorbs vapors and captures VOCs. Use replacement filters when filter reaches full capacity, or odors are present (approximately 90-120 days).

Safety fill vents and funnels

• For vertically-stored drums
• Brass vent provides automatic pressure and vacuum relief
• Model 08204 includes a brass cap with safety chain tethered to the vent to prevent misplacement or loss
• Model 08211 includes a 9-in (229-mm) wide polyethylene funnel to facilitate solvent waste disposal and reduce spillage
• Six-in (152-mm) flame arrester safely dissipates heat and prevents flashback from external ignition sources
