Venting
Each unit has 2 common vents installed; these are installed in the Cab Area of the
tank.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the unit if these vents are damaged or
missing
•2” Pressure Vacuum Vent – Allows movement of air into the unit at low
pressure during the pumping process and allows air out of the unit at a higher
pressure to stop an overpressure of the internal tank
•¼” Roll over Vent – Allows free flow air into and out of the tank at all times,
this low volume vent will fully close if the tank is accidentally inverted or
turned on its side
•For static installation follow local regional, state and national Fire Safety
Codes and other governing Installation Codes for the Normal and Emergency
Venting equipment and appurtenances.
