Applications

XBD-50 breather and drains are installed in enclosures or conduit systems to:

  • Provide ventilation to minimize condensation.
  • Drain accumulated condensation. At least one breather should be installed with each drain.
  • Breathers (vents), are installed in the top of enclosures to provide ventilation to minimize condensation in enclosures.
  • Drains are installed in bottom\x92s of enclosures or conduit systems. Drains are used in environments of humid atmospheres or wet locations where it is likely or possible that water can gain entrance to the interiors of enclosures. The conduit entryways should be positioned so that no water may collect in enclosures or seals, but may exit out through the XBD-50 through a low point within the enclosure.
