Venting [RE-wrenches]

[jay peltz]

Hi Jeff,

Yes I am aware of the flap or check valve, but that will not prevent gasses
from escaping out the same tube the vent pushes it.  The flap on the ones I've
used is very light seems to allow air to vent out in the normal way.  It also
doesn't seal perfect, so if getting rid of hydrogen is your main concern,
that'll do it.

What say you?
