Brass Vertical Drum Vent - 30/55 Gallon

Choose vertical when drums are stored upright with clear overhead space above the bung opening. The vertical orientation is the standard choice for single-layer drum storage on pallets or shelving. Use horizontal when drums are stacked or stored with limited overhead clearance above the bung.

Yes. The vent design allows air pressure to equalize while filtering out moisture, dust, and debris. However, for outdoor drum storage exposed to direct rain, a horizontal vent may be preferred since the opening faces sideways rather than upward toward falling water.

Yes. The brass construction is non-sparking, making it safe for drums containing flammable solvents, paints, lacquers, and chemical products. Brass does not produce sparks when threaded into the steel drum bung. This meets OSHA and NFPA requirements for flammable liquid storage ventilation.

Thread the vent into the drum bung opening by hand, then snug with a bung wrench. The standard bung thread matches 30 and 55 gallon drum openings. Do not over-tighten, which can damage the brass threads. The vent should be snug enough to seal but removable for drum filling and dispensing.

The Brass Vertical Drum Vent for 30 and 55 gallon drums is priced at $69.85 (SKU VENT-V). Ships in stock from Creative Coating Solutions. Non-sparking brass with standard bung thread for upright drum storage pressure relief. $14.35 less than the horizontal model.
