•Incorporates a spring-loaded pressure/vacuum relief valve within the hatch
•Leakage rates less than 1 SCFH at 90% of set pressure
•Easy maintenance for reduced downtime and lower operational costs
Model L12-TL Long Pan
The L12-TL incorporates a large working surface, larger cover and a gauging and sampling hook into the base. The base is inclined to match the slope of the API 12 tank’s roof to provide a level working surface.
• Long pan contains product loss during sampling
• Leakage rate less than 1 SCFH of air at 90% of set pressure
•Install on steel or fiberglass (FRP) low-pressure oil tanks to provide access for level gauging, sampling and overpressure/vacuum protection
Model L61T Lock Down
The L61T provides access for gauging or obtaining product samples from storage tanks. It integrates a gauging hook into the base for tank sampling and a “cushioned air” seating for a superior seal and reduced fugitive emissions.
•Lid permits the use of both hands during gauging or sampling
•Ultra-tight sealing reduces product leakage and fugitive emission
•Easily mounted to API 12-bolt pattern or 150# ASME flanges
Model LLDC
Conversion Kit
The Lock Down Conversion Kit converts existing thief hatch products installed in the field to a lock down hatch. The Lock Down Hatch provides secure access to storage tanks without pressure or vacuum relief capability.
•Incorporates a mechanical lock system to be used with a pad lock or lock out bar
•Designed for easy maintenance, thus reducing downtime and lowering operational cost
•Please consult factory to verify if your existing equipment is compatible with the LLDC
