Tank Air
Escape Valves
Model 1600
Description: Model 1600
Wager Tank Air Escapes
consist of a body (of any
material) equipped with a 30
x 30 mesh monel flame
screen and a VY x Y4 mesh
monel
protecting
screen,
separated by a spacer ring.
These parts are held in
place on the body by means
of a monel cap and #316
stainless steel screws.
Connections are either screwed IPS, flanged ASA or
weld type as required.
Although somewhat similar in design to the Wager
Inverted Vent Check Valves, these Tank Air Escapes are
not equipped with a ball float.
Function: Wager Tank Air Escapes serve to allow the
free passage of air into tanks, dry cargo holds, or
storage spaces ... and prevent vacuum or pressure
buildup during pumping operations. Since these valves
have no float for automatic closing, they should be
placed in locations which are not accessible to sea
water. The fine monel flame screen protects tank fluids
or dry
cargo dust from igniting In the event of deck fires and
prevents the entrance of insects into areas serviced by
these valves.
A coarse monel Protecting Screen, separated from the
Flame
Screen
by
a
spacer
ring,
prevents
any
mechanical damage to the Flame Screen and acts as a
deterrent to clogging this inner screen with paint.
