Our Vent Plugs are an essential component for allowing airflow and heat dissipation in enclosures, electrical cabinets, and industrial panels. Designed to manage internal temperatures and prevent pressure build-up, these plugs are offered in standard and filtered variants to suit specific application needs. Manufactured from high-grade Nylon 6/6, they combine strength, temperature resistance, and flame-retardant properties to provide long-lasting performance in demanding environments.

What are Vent Plugs?

Vent Plugs, also referred to as Plastic Vent Plugs, are specialised components used to enable the controlled passage of air in and out of enclosed systems. Available with or without an integrated Polyurethane filter, these plugs are designed to block contaminants larger than 30 microns while maintaining airflow. Commonly used for ventilation or heat dissipation, especially in electrical or electronic systems, these plugs are easily installed by hand with a secure locking mechanism.

Key Features:

• Manufactured from durable, heat-stabilised Nylon 6/6
• UL94V-2 flammability rated for safety in electrical environments
• Designed with thin, low-profile heads for flush mounting
• Integrated locking clips for quick, tool-free installation
• Withstands temperatures from -40°C to 105°C
