M5 molecular sieve desiccator designed to replace the purge screw in day and night periscope systems.
Description
Our M5 Periscope Desiccator has been designed to replace the standard M5 purge screw that you find in Day & Night Periscope systems. The desiccator is filled with molecular sieve desiccant to maintain an ultra-dry environment within the equipment to prevent condensation and fogging on the lenses. The AD165 meets IP67 and has an Operating Temperature range -40 to +85 Degrees C. It is always recommended to purge your Periscope with our HydraPurge dry gas purging device, before fitting the desiccator to increase its life.
