Abstract
The invention relates to a fluid seal unit which vents gas pressure from a sealed region. The seal includes vents extending axially along its inside or outside mounting surface diameter, preferably communicating with an annular manifold lying adjacent one face of the seal. The manifold in turn is sealed by a flexible diaphragm which provides a valve or vent control action in use. The mounting surface containing the vent may be a metal surface, forming a part of the seal casing or a rubber surface where the seal has a rubber covered mounting flange.
