Subsea M8 Vent & Vacuum Plug
A two-part modular system (M8 Enclosure Vent + M8 Vacuum Plug, sold separately) for pressure equalization and leak detection on subsea enclosures. Allows temporary connection to a vacuum pump (not included) for a quick vacuum leak test; unlike the M10 self-sealing version, the vent does not self-seal and must be manually sealed with the vacuum plug afterward.
