3. General product information:
3.1 The WINEL B.V. Tank Vent Check valves are designed and tested for a long
and trouble-free lifetime. However, to keep the valves in the best possible condition
we recommend maintenance as per enclosed maintenance instructions.
3.2. WINEL B.V. Tank Vent Check valves types RM ® and BOLEREO ® are made
of the finest materials in state-of-art manufacturing facilities.
Please understand that the WINEL B.V. Tank Vent Check valves have been
installed by the shipyard facility and will be used according owners instructions. As a
result Winel B.V. does not necessarily know the detailed application of the WINEL
B.V. Tank Vent Check valves. In respect to that fact WINEL B.V. cannot be held
responsible for any damage to the ship, its crew and/or its contents.
For the above-mentioned reason, installation and operating personnel should
carefully read the instructions on integrated systems before using the WINEL B.V.
Tank Vent Check valves.
3.3. WINEL B.V. Tank Vent Check valves work by means of a PE or SS (stainless
steel) floating ball situated in the ball holder compartment. In case (sea-) water enters
the WINEL B.V. Tank Vent Check valve the ball floats up to the Neoprene seat and
closes the tank.
3.4. WINEL B.V. Tank Vent Check valves can be used on amongst others
Ballast water tanks, Drinking water tanks, Fuel oil tanks, Lubricating Oil tanks,
Grey water tanks, to let air flow in and out the tank while preventing
overcoming (sea-) water to enter the tanks.
WINEL B.V. Tank Vent Check valves should NEVER
be used for any other purpose then indicated in these
instructions. In case of doubt, you are advised to consult
Winel B.V. and/or the surveyor responsible.
3.5. WINEL B.V. Tank Vent Check valves are not designed for overflow
purposes of fluids. While filling a.o. the ballast tanks, the responsible officer on the
vessel should prevent an overflow situation. In case of frequent or continuous
overflows with fluids the Neoprene seats and the floating balls may be damaged

6. Installation, assembly- and disassembly instructions.
6.1 Installation
6.1.1. Type: RM / RMO / RM / RMOE;
•The valves have to be fitted properly on the flanges using fitting bolts in all
boltholes.
•Make sure a proper gasket is fitted between the two flanges.
•The valves have to be fitted in such a way that the in-/outlet is not blocked or
hindered to allow free flow.
•Always install the valves in accordance to the class society regulations.
6.1.2. Type Bolero:
•The valves have to be fitted properly on the flanges using fitting bolts in all
boltholes.
•Make sure a proper gasket is fitted between the two flanges.
•The valves have to be fitted in such a way that the in-/outlet is not blocked or
hindered to allow free flow.
•Always install the valves in accordance to the class society regulations.
•Always install the valve in such a way that the “hood” is facing forward
(See fig. 6.1.2.1).
If the valves need to be painted, make sure any screen is covered or
removed before painting. Paint on the screen can block, but will most certainly
reduce, the capacity of the valve and it’s flame-retarding function. Uncover and clean
the screen before replacing it after painting.
6.2 Dis- and assembly:

7. Basic Operation Characteristics.
WINEL B.V. Tank Vent Check valves work by means of a PE or SS (stainless steel)
floating ball situated in the ball holder compartment. When seawater enters the
WINEL B.V. Tank Vent Check valve the ball floats up to the Neoprene seat, closing
the tank.
The floating balls and Neoprene gaskets are subject to wear and tear. Check
operation of the parts regularly. The Winel B.V. Tank Vent Check valves are
designed and tested for a long and trouble-free lifetime. However to keep the valves
in the best possible condition under the corrosive conditions at sea keep all metal
part well coated.
7.1. Type RM / RMO:
For velocity and pressure characteristics see from page 22
7.2. Type Bolero:
For velocity and pressure characteristics see from page 22

8. Recommended regular Maintenance:
8.1. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION TABLE
Item monthly 1 year 2 years 6 years 8-10 years
Screen 
Seat 
Float ball 
Complete valve 
= inspection / replace when damaged = clean
= replace
This is a recommended maintenance - and inspection table for general use.
In case of special conditions, the inspection frequency has to be intensified. Screens
may become polluted sooner, therefore we recommend regular sampling of screens.
In case of hindering pollution on the screens, intensify the screen-cleaning table.
This frequency has to be determined by the ship’s management
8.2. Inspection of the float ball and seal
While inspecting the float ball also inspect the neoprene seal inside the top of the
valve. The seal is a neoprene ring glued to the valve. If the floating ball is damaged,
replace it. If the seal has been damaged or if it is loose, replace it.
8.3. Steps to take (also see Chapter 6.2.)
1) Remove one of the cover plates on one of the sides of the valve.
2) Remove the screen if present.
3) Take out the float ball, inspect for surface damages and check if the float ball
is still round.
4) If the float ball has been damaged, replace it.
5) Mount the cleansed screen and cover plates, use new bolts.
6) Make sure the screen is properly mounted.
