Venting Solutions for Welding Integration

GORE® Protective Vents for Welding Integration are engineered to provide durable oleophobic protection where a welded vent solution is preferred. Welded solutions are typically used in high quantity applications where space is limited and a high IP rating is required, or where shock and vibration requirements are high.
