Overview
The Raxton Exe Breather/Drain Plugs (Type CV) effectively drain moisture from an enclosure and allow air from the enclosure to vent into the surrounding atmosphere thereby minimising moisture build up.
The Plug is fastened to the lowest point of the enclosure by means of a spanner or allen key. The ‘O’ ring will seal against the enclosure face enhancing the I.P. rating of the Plug. The Drain Plug can be supplied with either a serrated washer and locknut allowing the condensation to drain whilst ensuring the Plug is shakeproof or with a castellated locknut. The Exde plug has an impact resistance of 20 Nm and can operate at temperatures between -50ºC to +230ºC.
Raxton Drain Plugs are marked with the appropriate approval number and size. Tested to IP66.
