Vent Plugs

Vent Plugs, also known as ventilation plugs or air vent plugs are essential components used by professionals across various industries to allow controlled airflow and pressure equalisation in enclosures, electrical cabinets, and industrial panels. These plugs are designed to prevent overheating, condensation and the ingress of contaminants such as dust, moisture and oil during operation.

Our comprehensive range includes louvered vent plugs and filtered vent plugs, catering to diverse application requirements. These ventilation plugs are available to fit hole sizes ranging from 12.7mm to 101.6mm, these plugs are manufactured from durable materials such as UL94V-2 rated Nylon 6/6, ensuring resilience and longevity. Options with integrated polyurethane filters provide enhanced protection by filtering particles as small as 30 microns, making them suitable for both general and specialist applications.

For applications that require adding sealing or ventilation onto threaded solutions, we also offer Threaded Vent Plugs providing versatility for a range of industrial and commercial requirements.
