IOM-5200
CAUTION
DO NOT attempt to remove the vent from the tank or
process vessel without  rst bleeding all pressure from
the system. ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF PRESSURE
RELIEF MUST BE PROVIDED WHEN THE VENT IS OUT
OF SERVICE.

IV. SHIPPING, INSPECTION AND
STORAGE:
The POVV vent is carefully packaged to prevent
damage or contamination during shipping. Inspect
the equipment when it is received and report any
damage to the carrier immediately. The POVV
should be stored in a clean environment with all
the protective  ange covers in place to prevent
intrusion of foreign materials. If there are indications
of physical damage or internal contamination, the
valve may need to be disassembled, cleaned and
inspected prior to installation.
Tank or system protection is the primary function of
the Pilot Operated Vent Valve (POVV). It must be
selected to meet the total pressure  ow requirements
within the maximum allowable working pressure
of the system on which it is installed. Consult API
Standard 2000 for tank protection sizing procedures.
Improperly speci ed relief vents may result in
structural damage to the tank or system, and can
cause severe personal injury or death.
In the event of a diaphragm failure, the Model 5200
will vent pressure to the pipeaway connection causing
the pressure relief valve to fail in the OPEN position.
The vent will now function like a weight loaded vent
under this condition with a lower set point. Consult
the factory for any questions related to this over-
pressure condition.
The 1/2” OD SST pilot valve sensing line must be
kept open and unobstructed to ensure that the pilot
“senses” the actual tank pressure. For applications
where tank vapors may condense or polymerize in
the sensing tubing or the pilot valve, a nitrogen purge
may be required to prevent internal obstruction of the
tube. Consult the factory for recommendations.
After isolating the relief vent, bleed all pressure
from both main and pilot valve before removing the
Model 5200 POVV.
NOTE: Both the pilot valve and main valve are
exposed to the process vapors. Observe all
plant procedures and Material Safety Data Sheet
recommendations before inspecting, adjusting or
servicing any components.
The vent on the spring bonnet of the pilot must
be clean and unobstructed for proper and safe
operation of the valve.
Lifting lugs may be provided on the main valve for
lifting and handling. To avoid damage to the lower
 ange surface, rest the vent on a soft clean gasket
material until it is ready to be installed. DO NOT
store the POVV directly on the ground.
Make sure that any loading weights that might have
been shipped separately, to protect the vent during
shipping, are accounted for and stored with the vent.
These weights when required, will be installed during
installation,at installation.
WARNING
Warning: Before beginning any relief vent inspection
or maintenance, carefully read and understand the
information in this manual. If there are any questions
concerning the information in this manual, please
contact the factory or an authorized repair center
before proceeding.
CAUTION
DO NOT attempt to change pressure set point beyond
the limit speci ed on the nameplate..
