Dole 80 vents?

Does anyone has experience with Dole 80 vents. We ordered Gorton Ds from our supplier and he sent these saying they were the same. I'm 99% sure that's BS, but wanted to check here before sending them back. They are not listed in the Balancing Steam spec sheet so I'm unsure how fast they are...



Thanks!

    Dole #80 "D"

    Hi- Attached is the Dole Vent chart. Score down and it gives a description of the # 80 & 85 vent including the vent aperture sizes. For the "D" model it is .185 which is the same size the Jacabus Maid -O-Mist "D" model   http://www.maid-o-mist.com/jacobus.html   so it would seem these are a close match to both the Maid-O-Mist and Gorton "D" models.

    Thanks..

    They do vent fast, but they don't close when steam hits them... they vent all the steam. Don't know if that's just a quality difference between Gorton and these? Everyone of the forum seems to like the Gorton vents.....

    Dole Vents

    Hi- The Doles are a bi-metal vent the same as Gorton and Jacobus (Maid -o-Mist) so I don't know why they wouldn't close. I haven't used them myself as they seem to be regional (more in the midwest) and are rarely seen here in New England.
