Zusammenfassung:	The present disclosure generally relates to a valve assembly for a battery pack. The valve assembly incudes a body having a flange extending from an outer sidewall at a first end, an inner sidewall that defines a chamber, and a plate disposed between the first end and a second end. The plate includes a plurality of vents formed therethrough. The valve assembly further includes a valve element that is operably coupled to the first end of the body, a sealing element that is disposed between a portion of the valve element and the body, a retainer, and a biasing element. The body is a unitary component formed of a metal material. The retainer is centrally disposed in the body and is configured to connect the valve element with the body.
