    END-OF-LINE RECTANGULAR PLATE
    FLAME ARRESTER
    Series No. 860

    Protectoseal Series No. 860 End-of-Line Rectangular Plate Flame Arresters are installed where it is not necessary to conserve vapor losses but where low flash point liquids must be protected against fire and explosion from exterior sources of ignition. The flame arrester element is mounted to the arrester housing but is easily removable to facilitate inspection and maintenance. These flame arresters are designed to provide maximum air flow consistent with operating efficiency, fire protection and low cost maintenance. Listed by Underwriters' Laboratories in 2" through 8" sizes. Approved by Factory Mutual Research in 2" through 6" sizes. Suitable for Group D Vapors, such as gasoline and methane, as referenced in the National Electric Code (NEC Article 500), generally equivalent to International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Group IIA.

    The Series No. 860 Flame Arrester is mounted on the end of the vent pipe from a tank. Standard connections on the 2", 3" and 4" sizes are NPT threads. Flange connections provided on the 6" and 8" sizes. Vapors are allowed to escape into the atmosphere and air can be drawn into the tank through the specially designed flame arrester grid assembly. If an ignition source outside of the tank is encountered, the flame arrester provides protection for the tank's vapor space. The large wing nut and swing bolt assemblies loosen easily to allow full access to flame arrester and vent interior for inspection and maintenance. A spare arrester element can be quickly mounted to safeguard tank interior while servicing the original element.
