202 Emergency Vents

The OPW 202 Emergency Vent is designed to prevent an aboveground storage tank from becoming over-pressurized by providing full-bore, high-capacity venting in the event of a fire or blockage of the OPW 23, 113, 523V, or 623V. The 202 is a vapor-tight, spring-loaded emergency vent. When the AST builds pressure to 2.5 psi, the spring-loaded lid opens full-bore and discharges vapors upward to relieve the pressure. The lid remains open for inspection to indicate a problem with the normal tank venting, or if a fire has taken place, until manually reset. The appropriate 202 Series vent is determined by the emergency venting capacity requirements of the AST and the type of connection at the tank's emergency vent opening. The OPW 202 Emergency Vent is available in 4", 6", and 8" openings with female NPT connections.
