The Saddle Vent
®
was developed by Air Systems and in use around the
world for over 20 years to make it easier and safer for workers to enter
and exit a confined space. The Saddle Vent
®
takes up only 3 inches in a
manhole opening and functions as a fresh air conduit to the workers in the
confined space. With the Saddle Vent
®
in place, continuous ventilation is
supplied to the workers by eliminating the need to remove the air duct
each time a worker needs to enter or exit a confined space, increasing
safety and productivity.
The Saddle Vent
®
allows unrestricted
entry and exit and
improves ambient
light in a confined
space opening
