Hazardous Location Breather Drains
Hazardous Location Breather Drains prevent moisture build-up within hazardous approved enclosures while maintaining enclosure UL Type rating. Drains are to be used when an enclosure is subject to fluctuations in temperature which can lead to the formation of condensation and a subsequent moisture build-up. These drains allow air within an enclosure to breathe with the surrounding atmosphere, preventing condensation and any potential damage to electrical equipment.
