Produkt overview
The Bailey Brass Breather Vent (BV-SAE N.8) is designed to regulate airflow and filter contaminants in hydraulic cylinders, tanks, and reservoir systems. It features a 40-micron filter element and an SAE 8 thread port, effectively preventing pressure buildup while blocking dust, debris, and airborne particles. This compact brass fitting ensures clean and consistent performance in low-pressure hydraulic setups, extending component life and maintaining system cleanliness.

Nøglefunktioner
- PROTECTS HYDRAULICS: Helps prevent dust, dirt, and airborne debris from entering your hydraulic tank or cylinder—ideal for protecting low-pressure systems and extending equipment life.
- 40 MICRON FILTERING: Built-in 40-micron filter element allows air to flow freely while capturing fine particles, reducing the risk of internal contamination in hydraulic reservoirs and return lines.
- SAE 8 THREAD PORT: Fitted with a standard SAE 8 thread port for secure, leak-resistant installation into breather fittings on hydraulic cylinders, tanks, and reservoir systems.
- DURABLE BRASS: Made from corrosion-resistant brass to withstand tough environments, temperature changes, and fluid exposure—ideal for both indoor and outdoor hydraulic setups.
- COMPACT DROP-IN DESIGN: This breather vent installs easily into most BV-SAE N.8-compatible systems. Compact form fits tight spots, making it ideal for equipment with limited reservoir space.
Installationsvejledning
Proper installation of the breather vent is crucial for optimal performance and system protection. Follow these steps carefully:
- Prepare the Port: Ensure the hydraulic cylinder, tank, or reservoir port is clean and free of debris. The port should be an SAE 8 thread type.
- Inspect the Vent: Before installation, visually inspect the breather vent for any damage or manufacturing defects.
- Thread the Vent: Carefully thread the Bailey Brass Breather Vent into the designated SAE 8 port. Ensure it is aligned correctly to prevent cross-threading.
- Spænd sikkert: Hand-tighten the vent until snug. For a leak-resistant fit, use an appropriate wrench to gently tighten further, but do not overtighten, as this can damage the threads or the vent itself. Refer to your equipment's manual for specific torque recommendations if available.
- Bekræft installationen: Once installed, confirm the vent is securely in place and that there are no visible gaps or misalignments.

Operation
Once installed, the Bailey Brass Breather Vent operates passively to maintain optimal pressure balance within your hydraulic system while preventing contamination. The 40-micron filter element allows air to enter and exit the system as fluid levels change (e.g., during cylinder extension/retraction or temperature fluctuations), preventing vacuum or pressure buildup. Simultaneously, it filters out airborne particles, dust, and debris, protecting sensitive internal components from wear and damage. The vent requires no active user intervention during normal operation.
Opretholdelse
The Bailey Brass Breather Vent is designed for durability and minimal maintenance. However, periodic inspection is recommended to ensure continued optimal performance:
- Visuel inspektion: Regularly check the exterior of the vent for any signs of physical damage, corrosion, or blockages.
- Filter Cleanliness: While the 40-micron filter is robust, in extremely dusty or contaminated environments, it may accumulate excessive dirt. If you notice reduced airflow or signs of system contamination, the filter may need cleaning or replacement.
- Rensning: For light dust accumulation, the exterior of the vent can be wiped clean with a dry cloth. Do not attempt to disassemble the vent or clean the internal filter element with liquids or compressed air, as this can damage the filter media. If the filter appears heavily clogged, replacement is recommended.
- Udskiftning: If the vent becomes damaged, corroded beyond repair, or the filter is permanently clogged, replace it with a new Bailey Brass Breather Vent (Part Number 237257) to ensure continued system protection.
Fejlfinding
Most issues related to the breather vent are straightforward. Here are common problems and their solutions:
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Reduced airflow / System pressure issues | Tilstoppet filterelement | Inspect the filter. If heavily clogged, replace the breather vent. |
| Contaminants entering system | Damaged filter element or improper installation | Inspect the vent for damage. Ensure it is securely tightened. Replace if damaged. |
| Vent appears loose | Insufficient tightening during installation | Gently tighten the vent into the port. Do not overtighten. |
| Corrosion on vent exterior | Exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme environments | While brass is corrosion-resistant, extreme conditions can affect it. Clean the exterior. If severe, consider replacement. |
