Solid corrosion-resistant brass. The vent screw is drilled instead of
notched so it has the maximum thread sealing surface. More threads
means a better water seal. Click the link below to see the installation

completely remove the screw and chance losing it. Simply raise it a
few turns to expose the vent hole. Requires a 9/16" mounting hole

HOW TO CHOOSE AND INSTALL THE PROPER VENT
- Plastic vents work well on both new installations as well as retrofits.
It requires a 5/8" hole to be drilled so if you are replacing a
previously installed vent chances are you will just have to open up
the existing hole a little.
- Plastic vents have a shoulder that means you can apply more epoxy
to get a good seal to the board. The shoulder also means you won't
see a hole that isn't drilled quite perfectly.
- Plastic vents don't vent quite as quickly as the brass vents because
the opening is not quite as big.
- Brass vents look very classy installed on a wood board.
- Brass vent installation requires greater precision than the plastic
vents but the smaller head is less noticeable.
- We recommend the vent be placed in the nose of the board. This way you will see
it and will remember to close it.
- Placing the vent in the tail area means it will be under water when you are sitting
between waves. Give it a break and keep it high and dry in the nose.
- Recessing the vent as shown on the right means you will be less likely to step on or
snag something on it.
