horizontal drum vent brass from Northern Safety is a 2 inch horizontal brass drum vent designed to help clear out harmful vapors from drums during normal shop or industrial work. The brass construction forms a durable vapor-relief path, which supports repeated use in demanding drum handling setups. The horizontal layout positions the vent off the drum top, which can help when space around the bung area is limited by pumps, hoses, or other fittings. By using a vent that is specifically built to move vapors away, workers gain a dedicated path for pressure control during filling or dispensing. The Northern Safety branding and 8358 part number give a clear product identity, which matters when matching vents across multiple drums. This configuration helps turn a closed drum into a controlled venting point without changing the overall drum footprint.
This 2 inch horizontal brass drum vent mounts into a 2 inch drum opening, creating a dedicated vapor-relief position while keeping the main drum body intact. The horizontal orientation projects the vent outward from the bung, which can help keep the relief components clear of vertical pumps or transfer lines. Manual vacuum relief is built into the assembly, so the operator can relieve internal vacuum directly at the vent point to keep product moving during drum emptying. Automatic pressure relief at 5 psig is factory set, giving a known pressure threshold for venting as drums warm or as liquid is transferred. The internal flame arrestor and self-closing fusible link both reside inside the vent body, so these protective functions operate at the same connection point where vapors leave the drum.
The Northern Safety Horizontal Drum Vent Brass is used on drums where harmful vapors need a controlled outlet during routine handling. The 2 inch connection size matches drums with 2 inch openings, so the vent can be positioned at a main bung location while other drum fittings are assigned to product flow. In a shop or industrial setting, this vent creates a consistent point for both vapor exit and pressure relief while drums are filled, stored, or emptied. Because the vent is horizontal, it suits layouts where overhead clearance is limited or where vertical components already occupy the drum top. The internal flame arrestor works within this same connection, so vapor control and flame-interruption occur at the drum interface instead of at a remote point.
The manual vacuum relief on this brass drum vent gives the operator a direct way to relieve vacuum, which can improve pour rate or pump performance when drawing product out of a sealed drum. Automatic pressure relief at 5 psig means the vent responds when internal pressure climbs to that level, so the drum uses a defined pressure point rather than relying on improvised venting methods. The internal flame arrestor sits in the vapor path, disrupting flame fronts that could otherwise travel back toward the drum atmosphere. The self-closing fusible link adds a heat-responsive closure: at high temperature the link melts and closes the vent, helping isolate the drum interior during a fire scenario. Having these functions integrated in one 2 inch horizontal vent simplifies how pressure control, vapor movement, and fire-related closure are handled at each drum location over repeated fills and withdrawals.
The 2 inch horizontal brass drum vent helps clear out harmful vapors from a drum, providing a controlled outlet that manages pressure changes during filling, storage, or dispensing tasks.
The manual vacuum relief on this drum vent allows the operator to relieve internal vacuum, which supports smoother liquid flow and reduces interruptions when draining product from the drum.
Automatic pressure relief at 5 psig opens the vent when internal pressure reaches that point, which helps manage pressure increases as temperature or handling conditions change around the drum.
The internal flame arrestor is built into the vent path, interrupting flame travel toward the drum atmosphere and supporting safer operation when flammable vapors are present.
The self closing fusible link melts at high temperature and closes the vent, which helps isolate the drum interior during a fire and supports better control of vapors under heat stress.
The Northern Safety 8358 part number identifies this specific horizontal brass drum vent configuration, which simplifies selecting the same vent across multiple drums or future orders.
The Northern Safety Horizontal Drum Vent Brass 8358 gives a defined 2 inch horizontal vent point that helps clear out harmful vapors while managing pressure changes. With manual vacuum relief, automatic pressure relief at 5 psig, an internal flame arrestor, and a self-closing fusible link, it combines pressure control and fire-related functions in a single drum-mounted unit. For drum setups that need consistent vapor handling and predictable relief behavior, this brass vent offers a focused solution tied to a clearly identified part number for repeat use.
