Emergency relief vent 8700

The Model 8700 emergency pressure/vacuum vent provide emergency pressure and vacuum relief beyond that furnished by the normal pressure vent for atmospheric and low pressure tanks, as well as providing a convenient access for tank cleaning, inspection and repair. Emergency relief valves provide relief from excessive internal pressure which may be caused by an abnormal condition, such as ruptured internal heating coils or an external fire. The vacuum relief allows the intake of air necessary to maintain the tank pressure within the permissible vacuum limit to avoid damage to the tank.
