Function
EPV-6500-*-* enclosure protection vents provide pressure relief to pressurized enclosures and pressure and flow information to 6500 series control units. The vents are intrinsically safe when used in conjunction with a 6500 control unit. Vent models are available for standard applications or continuous flow dilution applications that require precise flow measurement. For a streamlined enclosure design, the vent can be mounted in any orientation and can be mounted inside a pressurized enclosure with just the vent cap outside of the enclosure. EPV-6500-SS-* models include reference pressure tubing and hardware for internal mounting.
