The invention relates to a pneumatic device (1) for a brake system (100), comprising a housing (2) for receiving electric or electronic components and configured for being in fluid communication with the environment (5) during operation of the pneumatic device (1), a breathing path (15) having a port (17) and being in fluid connection with the housing (2) and the environment (5) and a breathing element (10) arranged in the breathing path (15) and configured to provide a liquid impermeable but gas permeable barrier between the housing (2) and the environment (5). The invention further suggests that the pneumatic device (1) comprises a valve element (40) which allows fluid to bypass the breathing element (10) for exhausting the pneumatic device (1) to the environment (5). The invention further relates to a brake system (100) having such a pneumatic device (1), a commercial vehicle (200) and a method for assembling the pneumatic device (1).
