Semi-Internal "Pop-Action" Pressure Relief Valve for Large Storage Containers 7534-40
Designed especially for use as a primary relief valve on large stationary storage containers,
these low profile relief valves are generally mounted in half couplings. However, they are
designed so that the inlet ports clear the bottom of a full 2" coupling. This assures that the relief
valve should always be capable of maximum flow under emergency conditions. 7534-20

nia industry. All RegO® pressure gauges have a 1/4" M. NPT connection unless otherwise

Designed to assure positive shut-off and long maintenance-free service life in liquid or vapor service. Ideally suited for use on cylin-
der charging manifolds, truck filling hoses, bulk storage containers and plant piping. The high quality construction and wide variety
of sizes make them highly suited for use with LP-Gas, anhydrous ammonia and in the chemical and petrochemical industries.

Swing Away Back Pressure Check Valves for Container or Line Applications
Designed to provide protection of a container opening when desired flow is always into the vessel.
May also be used in the line applications where flow must be limited to one direction. When used
with the appropriate single check filler valve, the combination forms a double check filler valve suit-
able for use in filling of bulk storage tanks. The swing-away check offers more efficient flow rates than
conventional designs. It swivels open vertically to reduce pressure drop across the valve and
improves flow rates.

ing on bobtail delivery trucks. Installation is quick and easy, and it fits in
both full and half couplings, as well as in-line applications. The valve may
be actuated manually by hand or cable. Note: A3209D replaces A3209R. A3209D A3209TL & A3209PA

ings in NH3 nurse tanks or the vapor equalizing opening of bobtail delivery trucks. Installation is quick
and easy, and must be installed in a modified half coupling or the equivalent. The valve may be actuated
manually by cable or pneumatically. Note: A3209DT replaces A3210A065.

Miscellaneous Equipment
Sight Flow Indicators for Bulk Plants
Designed to promote maximum pump efficiency, these indicators enable bulk plant operators to visually inspect liquid flow conditions.
With glass on both sides of the indicator, flow can be observed from either side, even under some poor light conditions. The integral
swing check also serves as a back-check valve to prevent reverse flow and product loss if the hose fails in a loading operation. By
installing an indicator on the upstream side of the plant pump, suction conditions can be observed and the pump speed adjusted to
obtain the maximum possible flow rate without cavitation. Additionally, if an indicator is installed in the piping at the loading rack, just
ahead of the loading hose, the operator can maintain a constant check on pump conditions.
Both installations are designed to allow for observation to provide maximum pump efficiency
and assure safe plant pump operation. In compressor operations a sight flow indicator installed
in the liquid line will give a visual indication when the tank car or transport is emptied.
Compressor operation can then be immediately reversed to start recovery of the vapor.

ACME Plugs
Specifically designed to withstand the everyday abuse given hose end valves on delivery trucks and
hose end couplings on risers in bulk plants. These rugged plugs protect the coupling tip as well as
prevent the entrance of dirt, dust, snow and rain. They also prevent possible gas contamination from
these same sources. The heavily ribbed outer surface permits hand-tight make-up.

Rotogages®
1" Rotogages® for Large Mobile and Stationary Containers
Rotogages® are designed to provide an accurate determination of LP-Gas or anhydrous ammonia con-
tainer contents. They mount in a standard 1" NPT coupling on large mobile or stationary containers. To
operate the Rotogages®, the vent valve is opened and the dip tube rotated slowly from the container vapor
space to the liquid space. The difference in appearance of the discharge indicates when the liquid level
is reached. Dial readings then indicate the percentage of product in the container.
