00:00If you're running an ozone disinfection system, you already know how brutal that gas can be on
00:04standard rubber seals and plastic components. Ozone is incredibly corrosive, and if you don't
00:10have the right breather valves to equalize pressure without letting moisture in, your
00:14expensive equipment is going to fail. I've been digging through the market to find the best deals
00:19and the most durable options specifically for this kind of setup. First up, we have a heavy
00:25hitter for anyone running a Ford-based ozone generator or pump system. This is the 1313806
00:31Breather Membrane Valve Cover PCV, which is a direct replacement for various Ford Focus, Fiesta,
00:37and Fusion 1.6 TDCi models. What makes this the top pick is that OEM-style construction,
00:43it uses a high-quality membrane that resists chemical degradation much better than generic caps,
00:48ensuring your crankcase or housing can vent without letting contaminants in.
00:52It's a steal at just $2.78, and with over 4,150 units sold and a solid 4.7 rating,
00:59you know it's a proven workhorse. Next, if you need something for a custom build or a manifold setup,
01:05this is the ultimate utility player. This is the 10-piece waterproof vent plug screw
01:11automatic exhaust breather valve set. These are rated IP68, meaning they are completely dust-tight
01:17and waterproof, which is critical when you're dealing with ozone because you don't want
01:21any ambient moisture getting into your system. They come in a huge variety of sizes from M5 all
01:27the way up to M20, giving you total flexibility. The automatic pressure balance feature is fantastic,
01:33and the fact that you get 10 of these nylon valves for only $3.71 is unbeatable,
01:38no wonder they have a 4.9 rating with over 4,000 sales.
01:42For those of you running a Volkswagen or Audi group engine setup, you're going to want to check
01:47out this next one. It's the crankcase breather hose pipe valve kit designed for the 1.8 T engines found
01:53in Audi A3, 4, A6, TT, and VW Golf 4 Malawian Quachas and Jetta. Ozone systems often tie into the
02:01vacuum lines, and this kit includes the specific hose and valve assembly needed to handle the pressure
02:06regulation for the 06A103213F part number. It is a complete kit, so you don't have to hunt down
02:13individual clamps or hoses. At $12.37, it's a bit more of an investment, but it saves you a massive
02:20headache. With a 4.8 rating, it's clearly a favorite among the DIY mechanics. Now, let's talk about high
02:28temperature and heavy-duty applications. If you are running a larger ozone generator that puts out some
02:34heat, you need something that won't melt or crack. This is the two-pack of breather valve grommets
02:40designed as high-temp-resistant replacements for Chevrolet SBC, BBC, and SBF 350 engines.
02:46These are perfect if you are using a valve cover as a mounting point for your ozone injection or
02:51ventilation. The rubber compound here is thick and durable, designed to handle the heat and chemical
02:57exposure without breaking down. You get two of them for just $6.06. The rating is a 4.2, which
03:05is still
03:05good, but just a heads up, make sure you measure your whole size because these are specific to the
03:10Chevy and Ford engine blocks. Finally, I'm including this next item because while it isn't technically a
03:16breather valve, it is a critical companion piece for protecting your ozone setup from the elements.
03:21This is the ultimate ceramic coating spray. Ozone equipment is often exposed to the environment,
03:27and this nanocrystal hydrophobic layer works wonders on metal housings and plastic covers.
03:33It creates a super slippery surface that repels water and prevents oxidation,
03:37which helps keep your breather valves and surrounding components clean and corrosion-free.
03:42It's a really useful spray to have on hand for maintenance, and at $5.27 with a 4.5 rating,
03:48it's a cheap way to extend the life of your deer. So there you go, whether you need a specific
03:53OEM
03:54replacement or a universal IP68 waterproof plug, there is something on this list for your ozone
03:59setup. I've put the direct links to all five of these products in the description box below so
04:04you can check the current prices and dimensions for your specific build. If this helped you figure
04:10out your setup, please give the video a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel for more deep dives
