IOM-5200
SECTION V
V. INSTALLATION:
The Model 5200 POVV is a precision device that 
must be handled carefully to ensure seat tightness.
 WARNING
The vent must be installed in a vertical position. The 
tank nozzle on which the vent is mounted should have 
the same nominal diameter as the venting device. It 
is recommended that the tank nozzle  ange face be 
within 1 degree of horizontal for best performance of 
the venting device.
 WARNING
Minimum clearance between tank roof and vacuum 
inlet port must be at least equal to the vents’ nomi-
nal  ange bore. Tank nozzle bore must be greater 
than or equal to vent inlet  ange bore. Inlet piping 
loads must be supported by appropriate structural 
supports, NOT by the vent body.
1.  At installation, the POVV should be carefully 
  lifted into position using the lifting lugs on the 
  body. Use the case assembly (32,33) to help 
  align the body directly over the tank nozzle. 
  DO NOT use the pilot valve or pickup line to 
  pull the POVV into position.
2.  Aluminum body vents should be mated to 
  at-faced 125# ASME  anges. Mating  anges  
  should be  at within 0.020” and clean; free 
  of scratches, corrosion and tool marks. A full 
  faced gasket is recommended.
3.  Install the  ange gasket on the nozzel face. 
  Use either a full faced or ring gasket for 
  raised face  anges. Ensure that the gasket 
  material is suitable for the service. See Table 
  1 for gasket dimensions.

4.  Center the gasket within the bolt circle of the 
 tank nozzle  ange.
5.  Lubricate all studs and nuts with an appropri- 
  ate thread lubricant. If stainless steel studs 
  and nuts are required, use an anti-seize lubri-
  cant such as moly-disul de.
6. Remove  ange protective covers and carefuly 
  set the POVV down on the gasket and face of 
 the nozzle  ange. 
7.  Install lockwashers and nuts. Tighten nuts 
  to half the recommended torque value using 
  an alternating crossing pattern. See Table 2.

* Torque vlaues are based on a gasket factor m = 3.5,
gasket factor y = 4000 psi, operating pressure = 30 psi
8.  Make sure that the gasket is compressed 
  evenly and the  anges are not distorted.
NOTE: Misalignment of  ange faces will cause 
bending stresses at the  ange and may damage 
 ange joint.
9.  Finish tightening nuts to the point that no ad- 
  ditional rotation occurs.
10.  If loading weights were shipped separate from 
  the vent, install weights on vacuum pressure 
  pallet. Ensure that all packing has been re 
 moved.
