About Precigenix — Jamnagar, Gujarat
PRECISION
BREATHABLE VENT
SOLUTIONS
IP68
Tested
Precigenix manufactures precision breathable brass vent valves that solve one of the most critical problems in sealed enclosures: internal pressure imbalance. When temperature changes or altitude variation create pressure stress, seals weaken over time — causing moisture ingress, dust entry, condensation, corrosion, and degraded IP performance.
Based in Jamnagar, Gujarat — India's brass manufacturing capital — we combine in-house CNC precision machining, German membrane technology, and European oleophobic membranes to produce breathable vents that maintain enclosure integrity and extend product service life across the harshest operating conditions.
From outdoor LED street lights to automotive ECU housings, CCTV enclosures, and industrial control panels — Precigenix vents protect sealed enclosures where reliability is non-negotiable.

The Problem — Why Enclosures Fail Prematurely
PREVENT IP DROPS.
REDUCE MAINTENANCE.
IMPROVE PRODUCT LIFE.
60%
Higher Maintenance Cost
An IP rating drop from to IP54 shortens maintenance intervals from 2.5 years to 1.5 years on 10,000 street lights — increasing annual maintenance by 60%. Stressed seals are the primary cause of IP degradation in outdoor luminaires.
IP↓
Condensation & Ingress
Temperature cycling causes pressure differentials inside sealed enclosures. Stressed seals allow moisture, dust and contaminants to enter — corroding electronics, clouding lenses, reducing light output, and triggering premature component failure.
MF↓
Degraded Luminaire Factor
According to the Maintenance Factor formula (MF = LLMF × LMF × LSF), poor ingress protection directly degrades the Luminaire Maintenance Factor. Outdoor installations at height require expensive specialised equipment for every service call — costs that escalate rapidly with IP failure.
The Solution
LITEBOW PROTECTIVE VENTS — TODAY'S BEST SOLUTION
✦ Pressure Equalization
Swift and constant equalization of pressure differentials — allowing air to pass through the European Membrane without allowing contaminants in.
✦ Condensation Reduction
Water vapour molecules pass through the membrane freely, preventing condensation buildup that corrodes electronics and degrades optical components.
✦ Contamination Prevention
Durable against liquid, dirt and dust ingress. Oleophobic membrane characteristic repels oils and chemicals found in industrial and automotive environments.

Frequently Asked Questions — Breathable Vents for All Industries
COMMON
QUESTIONS
What do Precigenix breathable vents do?
Precigenix breathable brass vents equalize internal enclosure pressure while blocking dust, water, and contaminants from entering sealed housings. The European ePTFE oleophobic membrane allows air and water vapour molecules to pass through freely, preventing pressure build-up and condensation, while physically blocking liquid water, dust, oils, and particulates. This maintains the enclosure's original IP rating over time — reducing maintenance costs and extending product service life.
Do Precigenix breathable vents use a European Membrane?
Yes. Precigenix breathable vents use a European Membrane — an oleophobic expanded PTFE (ePTFE) membrane that allows air and water vapour to pass through while physically blocking liquid water, dust, oil, and particulates. This protects the enclosure's IP rating over its full service life and prevents condensation-related failures inside sealed housings.
Are breathable vents needed for Electric Vehicle (EV) enclosures?
Yes — breathable vents are critical for EV applications. EV battery packs, BMS enclosures, on-board charger (OBC) housings, motor controllers, and EV charging equipment all experience significant pressure changes from thermal cycling during charging and discharging. Without pressure equalization, repeated expansion and contraction forces moisture-laden air past seals, degrading IP protection and risking electrical failure. Precigenix brass vents are IK10 rated, vibration tested, and suitable for underbonnet and undercarriage environments. View Automotive & EV applications →
Can breathable vents be used in solar and renewable energy applications?
Yes. Solar junction boxes, combiner boxes, string inverters, charge controllers, and battery storage enclosures all benefit from breathable vents. Outdoor solar enclosures experience large daily temperature swings — heating under direct sun, cooling at night — which creates repeated pressure cycles. Without venting, seals eventually allow moisture ingress. Precigenix vents are IP68 rated and UV resistant, suitable for rooftop, ground-mount, floating solar, and offshore renewable energy installations. View Solar & Renewable applications →
What IP ratings are the Precigenix vents tested to?
Precigenix breathable vents are independently tested and certified to IP54, IP65, IP66 (powerful water jet), IP67 (30-minute immersion up to 1 metre), and IP68 (continuous submersion beyond 1 metre). Independent lab test certificates are available on request for all ratings.
Why should I choose brass vents over plastic vents?
Brass vents deliver IK10 impact resistance (20 joules — the highest rating), zero fitting breakage compared to 2–3% breakage typical of plastic vents, a 20% more compact profile with higher airflow, higher melting point for flame-proof and explosion-proof environments, 100% recyclability for RoHS/environmental compliance, and a premium metallic finish that elevates product positioning. For buyers selling into European or North American markets, brass vents represent a meaningfully superior product quality signal.
What thread sizes and variants are available?
Standard metallic screw-in series: M6×0.75, M12×1.0, and M12×1.5. Adhesive membrane vents are available in customisable outer and inner diameters. Custom thread sizes, body profiles, membrane performance characteristics, and finish options can be developed based on buyer drawings and application requirements. Contact us with your specifications for a feasibility assessment within 24 hours.
Do you supply breathable vents for international export?
Yes. Precigenix is fully export-ready with IEC import-export codes, AD codes for customs, correct HS classification codes, RoHS/REACH compliance documentation, and export-grade packaging. We ship EXW, FOB, CIF, and DDP globally and accept USD, EUR, GBP, and AED. MOQ is 100–500 pieces; stock lead time is 3–7 days, batch orders 2–5 weeks. We actively serve buyers in Europe, Middle East, USA, and Southeast Asia.
Can you develop custom vent specifications for our product?
Yes. Custom venting solutions are a core capability. Share your application type, enclosure geometry, required thread size, airflow target, IP requirements, installation torque, and environment. Our engineering team will assess feasibility, recommend a standard product or propose a custom solution, and respond with a technical datasheet and quote within 24 hours.
