WARNING
Wear protective gloves and clothing to prevent skin contact when handling lead
weights. Wear eye protection. Avoid breathing dust, fumes, mist, vapors, and
spray. Do not eat, drink, or smoke while using the product. Avoid release to
the environment. Wash hands with soap and water after handling. Keep away from
excessive heat and open flames.
WARNING
Make sure the line is free of hazardous vapors before installing or servicing
the valve.
Principle of Operation
The 2100 Series maintains a tight seal until system pressure exceeds the set pressure of the vent. To adjust the set pressure, a series of weights may be stacked onto the lid assembly. When excessive overpressure occurs the weighted lid assembly lifts, breaking the seal between the seat and seal portion of the lid assembly. This allows vapors to pass through the vent orifice and relieve pressure buildup. The vent reseals upon relief and remains sealed; tethered lids may blow completely off in a catastrophic pressure event (see Figure 4). It is important to know that relieving vapors near the set pressure in a continuous manner may cause the lid assembly to flutter or oscillate. This is a common occurrence in products of this type in the industry. Operating the vent with flutter or oscillation over time may cause premature vent damage or wear. Please feel free to contact your local Sales Office with any questions or for information on proper tank venting.
Installation
▲ WARNING
The 2100 Series is shipped with its lid held partially open. The lid assembly
has attached weights and is heavy. Use caution when removing the shipping
blocks and metal bands to avoid injury to fingers and hands.
Prior to installation, remove the unit from its crate and discard any
protective coverings. Follow the recommended instructions for the installation
of the 2100 Series.
-
Carefully remove the 2100 Series from its crating.
Note
The seal portion of the vent can be damaged through improper handling, protect this surface with a padding material while transporting the unit if possible.
WARNING
Failure to use the spreader bar in lifting the unit may result in personal injury, damage to the unit, and damage to the equipment.
There should be no tension on the lanyards if the unit is to be hoisted in position, failure to do so may result in damage to the unit. -
Use an appropriate spreader bar when lifting the unit by the installed eyebolts. If the complete unit is to be hoisted into position using installed eyebolts, first secure the use the lid so that there is no tension on the lanyards. Lanyards are load-rated to 350 lbs / 160 kg each; damage to other components may occur.
-
Install the 2100 Series on flange bolt patterns that match that of the vent itself. If a matching pattern is not available, please contact your local Sales Office for an adapter. The attachment flange base must be a level surface. Use an appropriate gasket placed between the 2100 Series flange and the attachment flange, and center the vent into place.
-
Insert the appropriate number of bolts and make sure the vent is fastened securely. Installed bolts should be clear of the lid assembly when it is in the fully open position. remove any spacer or seal protection and inspect the now installed unit for items that would keep it from working properly. The sealing area should be free of any debris or damage that would cause leakage.
Startup
WARNING
Ensure the tank is at atmospheric pressure before opening. A pressure buildup
inside the tank can cause a spray to be emitted from the vent if opened under
pressure.
Tethered Configuration
-
Grip the lid firmly and lift straight up until the bottom of the guide assembly clears the base.
Note
Be careful to keep the guide from denting or scratching the sealing surface as this can cause leaks. -
Move the lid away from the opening and set it down on the guide assembly. The guide assembly is designed to hold the cover assembly even at the maximum 8 oz./sq. in. setting.
Restrained Configuration
-
Remove the nylock nut and outer fender washer. The loop slides off the lanyard attachment assembly.
-
Grip the lid firmly and lift straight up until the bottom of the guide assembly clears the base or attach shackles to the eyebolts and use a crane or hoist to lift.
Note
Be careful to keep the guide from denting or scratching the sealing surface as this can cause leaks. -
Move the lid away from the opening and set it down. The guide assembly is designed to hold the cover assembly even at the maximum 8 oz./sq. in. setting.
Maintenance
Sealing Surface Protector
WARNING
The sealing surface protector must be removed before the 2100 Series is
returned to service. The vent will not seal with the protector in place.
The following instructions are applicable only if the sealing surface
protector was also purchased for your unit. This guard is available to prevent
damage to the sealing surface when the 2100 Series is being used for tank
access or for running air or weld leads into the tank.
Remove the sealing surface protector from its bag. Place one end of the
protector over the machined surface with the legs pointing down and the flat
side up. Firmly press the protector over the sealing surface. Move around the
sealing surface making sure the protector is snugly attached.
Seal Replacement Procedure
Tools and Supplies Needed:
- 2 standard 7/16 in. wrenches
- Torque wrench (recommended)
- 1 screwdriver, any type (for eyebolt units only)
- Adhesive tape (recommended for eyebolt units)
- 2100 Series seal
- 4-1/4 in. stat-o-seals (recommended)
Replacement Procedure:
WARNING
Ensure the tank is at atmospheric pressure before opening. A pressure buildup
inside the tank can cause a spray to be emitted from the vent if opened under
pressure.
-
Remove the Nylock nut and outer fender washer. The loop slides off the lanyard attachment assembly. Remove the lid assembly from the base and place it on a level surface.
-
Loosen the 4 hex nuts on the bottom of the lid assembly. If the unit is equipped with eyebolts, insert the screwdriver through the eye to provide leverage.
-
If the unit is equipped with eyebolts, place a piece of adhesive tape over the hex bolt heads to prevent them from falling out. This is not required but makes seal replacement much easier.
-
Flip the lid assembly over so that the guide assembly is facing up.
-
Remove the hex nuts, washers, guide assembly, stat-o-seals, seal support, and seal. Take note of the order in which the components are removed.
-
card seal. If replacement stat-o-seals were ordered, discard old stat-o-seals.
-
Reassemble the lower lid components in the reverse order of disassembly.
-
Before tightening hex nuts, ensure that the eyelet on the lanyard(s) is pointing away from the center of the lid. Failure to do this may result in damage to the tank by preventing the unit from opening fully in a pressure event. Tighten each nut to 1 turn after snug.
-
Flip the lid assembly over so that the guide assembly is facing down. Reinsert the lid into the base and reattach the lanyard(s). Do not tighten the hex nut and the nylock ut greater than 12 ft-lbs.
