Remote Breather Canister

The remote breather canister (KEVKO K9085) is a sealed crankcase ventilation component designed for high-performance engines where traditional PCV systems must be relocated away from the engine bay. Built for serious enthusiasts and professional technicians, this aluminum unit manages blow-by gases with precision, preventing pressure buildup while maintaining engine cleanliness. Whether you're running a tight engine compartment or demand separation of air and oil in demanding applications, the remote breather canister delivers the reliability required for extended service intervals and peak engine performance.

This bolt-on remote breather canister features a 1-quart capacity aluminum construction with a natural finish, engineered to withstand thermal and pressure cycling inherent to high-output engines. The unit accepts a 12 AN male inlet connection, allowing flexible routing from the engine block to the remote mounting location—typically to a bulkhead, frame rail, or chassis location where space and heat isolation are critical. A petcock drain valve provides simple maintenance access for accumulated oil, while the included breather element ensures contaminant filtration without restricting flow. The compact footprint of 8.35 x 3.95 x 10.5 inches and 1.48-pound weight make it easy to integrate into tight packaging without sacrificing function.

Engine builders, off-road fabricators, and track-focused technicians rely on the remote breather canister when OEM airbox clearance, intercooler placement, or custom intake manifolds eliminate conventional PCV routing. Installation requires only bolt-mounting to a stable chassis location and connection via hose or hard line to your 12 AN inlet fitting; no special tools or modifications are needed. The petcock drain connects to a gravity-fed return line back to the oil pan or sump, completing a closed-loop system that protects seals, gaskets, and turbo bearings from damaging pressure spikes while capturing valuable crankcase vapors for emissions compliance.
