Acid Storage Cabinets

Venting

The back of acid storage cabinets feature two venting holes that come standard with knock-outs. In order to function properly, acid storage cabinets must be vented to alleviate any corrosive fumes that may otherwise accumulate inside the cabinet. It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that venting is proper and adequate for the intended use. Failure to vent a cabinet properly may cause corrosion of the cabinet and the cabinet hardware, depending upon the types of chemicals stored in the cabinet. PVC vent kits (sold separately) are designed to assist in the venting of acid storage cabinets. A vent kit fits through the through the 2” hole in the back of the acid storage cabinet, as shown below. Acid storage cabinets feature a removable back panel that also can be used for venting.
