OBJECTIVE
The Protectoseal Series 17800, Pipe-Away Pressure
Conservation Vent is intended for use where pressure relief is
required and the relieving vapors must be piped away and not
emitted into the atmosphere. May also be used for in-line
vacuum relief.

TECHNIQUE
A pallet in the vent housing opens and closes permitting relief
necessary, under normal working conditions, to avoid tank
damage. A flanged side connection is provided for easy pipeaway of vapors, eliminating their emission into the atmosphere, and allowing compliance with applicable regulations.
Peripheral pallet assembly guides and center pallet stem
guides insure proper alignment of pallet assembly on the seat
and smooth lifting and reseating action.

Optimized Performance Vents

Protectoseals Optimized Performance Vents incorporate
patented features that provide the optimum overall vent performance with regard to sealing, set point, flow and resealing
(blow down).

SPECIAL FEATURES
Fast Inspection, Easy Maintenance. Design and light weight
of entire unit permits easy, convenient handling for inspection
and maintenance.
Maintains Accurate Pressure Settings. Set points are
accurate to within +/- 3% across the entire range of available
settings.
Air-Cushioned Seating. A flat, smooth diaphragm of FEP film
is supported on both sides of an annular channel to form a
floating air seal with the seat. An outer support rim assures
proper seating.
Automatic Condensate Drainage. Self-draining housing body
and drip rings keep condensate away from seating surfaces.
Vent is protected from freezing, binding and clogging.

Sizes Available. Available in 2" (DN 50) through 12" (DN 300)
sizes. Aluminum flanged to mate with 125# ANSI and DIN PN
16 flat face flanges. All other materials mate with 150# ANSI
and DIN PN 16 raised face flanges. Other drilling patterns are
also available upon special request.
PRO-FLOW III Sizing and Selection Software.
Use PRO-FLOW III to select the correct size unit for
pressure and vacuum relief calculated in accordance with
API 2000, ISO 23800, NFPA 30 and OSHA 1910.106.
