GORE® Protective Vents Screw-In Series
GORE® Screw-In Vents provide protection for sealed outdoor electronic devices to withstand extreme weather, temperatures, and mechanical stresses.
Help Outdoor Electronic Devices Withstand Weather and Temperature Changes
GORE® Protective Vents Screw-in Series ensure the safety, reliability and service life of your sealed outdoor electronic devices, even in the harshest environments. The portfolio includes performance options designed for a range of housing materials, enclosure volumes and application requirements as diverse as IK10, UL-94 V-O or “Ex+” ratings.
GORE® Protective Vents Screw-in Series provide:
Rapid Pressure Equalization
Rapidly and responsively equalize pressure differentials to reduce stress on seals and connectors in sealed enclosures. The bidirectional air exchange enabled by these vents can also help reduce condensation.
Reliable Solid and Liquid Contamination Prevention
Reliably keep solid and liquid contaminants from entering the enclosure to protect sensitive electronics, even after the vent has been immersed in liquid.
Added Longevity & Mechanical Stability
These screw-in vents are engineered for chemical, UV and temperature resistance, hydrolytic stability, and flammability resistance. One of our stainless steel vents provide the highest mechanical impact resistance rating: IK10 (IEC 62262); another is IECEx and ATEX certified, for equipment operating in potentially explosive environments.
Easy Installation
These flexible, low-profile vents are easy to install in tight spaces, and won’t compromise the look of the most streamlined enclosure designs.
Oleophobic and Hydrophobic Protection
All screw-in vents include our proprietary GORE Membrane which provides both oleophobic and hydrophobic protection up to IP68 and, for all but our most compact vent, IP69K.
The threaded vent plug and durable O-ring enable fast, safe integration and help keep the vent reliably secured to the housing. These vents provide long-term pressure equalization and protection for outdoor electronic devices in a broad range of challenging applications:

Every Screw-In Series vent undergoes in-line quality inspection at Gore before it is shipped. All vents with M6 and M12 thread sizes are individually laser-marked, to provide full product traceability.
Products in the GORE Protective Vents Screw-In Series have been fully tested by independent laboratories and certified to meet a range of IEC and DIN testing standards for durability/resistance to environmental challenges including:
- IP Ratings
- Mechanical Impact Testing
- Solar Industry Testing
- Salt Fog Testing
- Temperature Testing
- Humidity Testing
- Flammability and UV Resistance Testing
- Vibration Testing
