Emergency Pressure and Vacuum Relief Vent
52600Emergency Pressure and Vacuum Relief Vents provide emergency relief when installed on the manhole opening of a storage tank. In emergency situations (external fire involvement of the tank), normal venting devices may be too small to prevent over-pressurization of the tank. The device provides the necessary pressure relief capacity to maintain the tank in a safe operating range. Spring-loaded vacuum pallet assembly allows flow of make-up air into tank’s vapor space to relieve negative pressure.
