Breather cap with sealing closure

RoHS compliancy

The majority of the standard products available in the ELESA catalogue are compliant with the European Directive 2002/95/CE (RoHS directive, Restriction on Hazardous Substances).

However, there are some exceptions for some products which are not yet compliant owing to technological limits in the field of research in raw materials hence not due to ELESA's direct responsibility.By clicking on each product code in the table, you can directly check the status of the product as to RoHS compliancy.

All compliant products are supplied with a label showing the RoHS symbol.

Features and applications
The cover of the SFC. breather cap offers two different closure modes:
- Sealing closure: the cap is completely clamped and closed. The packing ring between the cover and the threaded connector flange guarantees a perfect sealing of gas or liquid contained in the reservoir.
- Breather closure: air is let in and out of the reservoir in normal conditions of use.

Assembly instructions
1) Screw the threaded connector by means of a hexagon key, maximum tightening torque: 6 ft·lb (8 Nm) (fig. 1).

2) Insert the "tech-foam" filter in its proper upper housing.

3) Fit the cover on the threaded connector by properly matching the two different teeth (different for shape) of the cover and the relevant knurling on the upper part of the threaded connector (fig. 2). On this knurling there are two stop positions, where the teeth of the cover are fitted: one is for the breather closure and the other one is for the sealing closure.

4) Breather closure. After fitting the cover (see point 3), turn it following the CLOSE arrow (clockwise) until the first click. In this position the cover is locked by means of the teeth fitted in the relative stop housing of the knurling: this is a guarantee against accidentaly unscrewing. In this position the index on the cover marked with 1 is in line with the index on the flange of the threaded connector (fig. 3).

5) Sealing closure. To reach sealing closure from breather closure (see point 4), turn the cover following the CLOSE arrow (clockwise) until the click. In this position the cover is locked by means of the teeth fitted in the relative stop housing of the knurling: this is a guarantee against accidentaly unscrewing. In this position the index on the cover marked with 0 is in line with the index on the flange of the threaded connector (fig. 4).

6) To reach breather closure (index on the cover marked with 1 in line with the index on the threaded connector) from sealing closure (index on the cover marked with 0 in line with the index on the threaded connector) just turn the cover following the OPEN arrow (anticlockwise) until the click (fig. 3).

7) By turning the cover following the OPEN arrow (anticlockwise), from breather closure it is possible to remove the cover from the threaded connector after the click, thus allowing the operator to clean the components or to substitute the "tech-foam" filter (fig. 5).
