These devices allow an enclosure to 'breathe' (transfer air in and out) but will withstand driving rain or even total immersion in water up to five metres. Made from robust and hard wearing materials, the breathers can pass high flow rates of air which can result from rapid variations in pressure, caused by temperature or altitude changes.The breathers can be screwed into a threaded boss or mounted through a hole, using a lock nut that is provided. If a controlled environment within equipment is required, then a humidity adsorber can be fitted in the rear of most immersion breathers. These adsorbers are filled with desiccants to prevent humidity damage and condensation.
