Slotted Vents
Q

What is the difference in head thickness?

A

Our standard* .093 head thickness is available in brass, steel, and aluminum vents. This head thickness is ideal for flat surfaces and is easy to keep clean. The .031*, or shallow, head thickness is also exceptional for flat surfaces and with the thinner head, will stay cleaner longer. The .156 head thickness is perfect for jobs requiring contouring. The thick head allows for shaping and designing after the vent has been inserted in the core box. Vent cleaners are also available for purchase—tapered and precision ground to .010”

* .093 is used for mild contouring, as well as flat surfaces.
* Since .031 is not a high volume item, see sintered bronze advice
* Not all slots are available on all items—call for specifics
