Vent Hose

A vent hose, also known as a breather hose or vent tube, is a component used to allow air to enter or escape from a closed system. It prevents pressure buildup and ensures proper ventilation.

Common applications of vent hoses include:

• Automotive: Vent hoses are used in various parts of a car’s engine compartment, such as the crankcase, transmission, and differential. They help to prevent excessive pressure buildup, which can damage components and cause leaks.
• Industrial machinery: Vent hoses are used in industrial equipment to prevent pressure buildup and ensure proper operation.
• Medical devices: Vent hoses are used in medical devices to allow for proper ventilation and prevent pressure buildup.
• Household appliances: Vent hoses are used in appliances like refrigerators and dryers to allow for proper ventilation and prevent moisture buildup.

Key functions of vent hoses:

• Pressure regulation: Vent hoses help to regulate pressure within a closed system, preventing excessive pressure buildup.
• Ventilation: They allow for the exchange of air between the system and the outside environment.
• Moisture removal: In some applications, vent hoses can help to remove moisture from the system.
• Prevention of damage: By preventing pressure buildup, vent hoses can help to prevent damage to components and equipment.

Types of vent hoses:

• Rubber vent hoses: These are made from rubber and are often used in automotive and industrial applications.
• PVC vent hoses: Made from polyvinyl chloride, these hoses are often used in household appliances and other applications.
• Metal vent hoses: These are made from metal and are typically used in high-temperature or high-pressure applications.
