Vent plug
Vent plugs are screwed into the exhaust air
ports of pneumatic, electropneumatic, and
electric devices. They ensure that any ex-
haust air that forms can be vented to the at-
mosphere (to avoid excess pressure in the
device). Furthermore, the vent plugs allow
air intake to prevent a vacuum from forming
in the device.
Î Locate the vent plug on the opposite side
to the workplace of operating personnel.
Î
On mounting valve accessories, make
sure that they can be operated from the
workplace of the operating personnel.
The workplace of operating personnel is the
location from which the valve, actuator and
any mounted valve accessories can be ac-
cessed to operate them.
