Protect your storage vessel and maintain structural integrity with the Bushmans Shepherd’s Hook Tank Vent. Essential for safe liquid transfer, this high-performance vent allows air to pass freely into and out of the tank during filling and emptying. By equalising internal and external pressure, it prevents hazardous vacuum buildup or over-pressurisation - safeguarding your tank walls against collapse, expansion, and stress fatigue.
Manufactured from heavy-duty High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), the signature downward-curved "shepherd's hook" design keeps rain, airborne dust, and falling debris from entering the tank roof. Each vent comes integrated with fine stainless steel mesh to act as a vermin and mosquito barrier, maintaining water purity and meeting health standards.
Key Features:
- Pressure Equalisation: Prevents vacuum formation during rapid draw-down and releases pressure build-up during filling to extend tank service life.
- Heavy-Duty HDPE Construction: Built from UV-stabilised High-Density Polyethylene for extreme weather resistance and long-term outdoor durability.
- Integrated Stainless Steel Mesh: Prevents mosquitoes, insects, birds, and vermin from entering through the ventilation point.
- Weather-Shielded Design: The downward-curved hood protects the air inlet from rain, splashback, and windblown contaminants.
- Custom Sizing Options: Available in multiple size configurations to meet specific liquid displacement and cubic airflow requirements.
Important Installation Note: To ensure adequate safety margins and prevent structural stress, select a vent size whose cubic airflow capacity equals or exceeds the maximum inflow/outflow rate of your filling source.
