gun safe de-humidifier


Recommended Posts

I have a fire resistant gun safe, that does not have an access port to run an electric de-humidifier. Curious as to what you have had success with. Battery operated? The powder stuff, I don't know the name of? I could run a cord through the door seam if needed, but would be leary of fire hazard. Thanks

Most have a hole towards the bottom,probably in the back where you run the cord for a plug in unit. I had the granules in the can unit but started to wonder if I was using it correctly. The top had a clear cover and when the stuff turned purple it had to be put in the oven and cooked for a while until it dried out. I decided to get a plug in rod and that seems to work well. I can't remember but I think the rod was maybe $30 or so. If you don't have a hole I think you could probably drill one pretty easily. Once you get through the metal outside the wall is just a couple layers of sheet rock. The rod device had a simple 110 cord leading to it that didn't have the plug attached. You run the cord through the hole, snap on the plug and plug it in and you're good to go. It doesn't get too hot but I would make sure nothing was touching it.
