Producdt Description:
The ZCCGB-III Stainless Steel Flame Arrester is a premium safety solution designed to deliver maximum longevity in the most demanding industrial settings. Unlike standard carbon steel models, this unit utilizes full stainless steel construction to resist atmospheric corrosion and aggressive chemical vapors. A central feature of its design is the rugged rain cap (weather hood), which deflects both vertical and wind-driven precipitation. By preventing moisture buildup that could impede the breathing capacity of your storage tank, the rain cap ensures continuous, reliable operation even in harsh offshore or coastal environments.
High-Performance Flame Elements & Quenching Technology
At the heart of the ZCCGB-III are its precision-engineered flame elements, which serve as the primary barrier against atmospheric ignition sources. These components are designed to provide total system security through advanced thermal management.
-
Precision Quenching: The device is equipped with high-performance flame elements—available in either a corrugated ribbon or multilayer mesh configuration—that quench flames by rapidly absorbing thermal energy.
-
Subsonic Deflagration Protection: These flame elements are specifically optimized for “end-of-line” applications, effectively preventing external fire from penetrating the tank vapor space.
-
Bi-Directional Safety: The internal flame elements are engineered for flexible installation, quenching flame fronts originating from either side of the device to ensure comprehensive protection.
Installation:
- Remove all flange cover and discard all packaging materials.
- Check the seat, the matching flange gasket on the seat surface. It must be clean, flat, scratch-free, corrosion-resistant, tool traces.
- Check the gasket to ensure that the material is suitable forapplication.
- Lubricate all studs and nuts with proper thread lubricant. If the fastener is a high temperature stainless steel material, a back-grabbing compound, such as molybdenum disulfide, is used.
- Inside gasket of bolt ring.
- Installing flange of Inline flame arrester shell to butt with flange of pipeline, attention should be paid to the position of lifting handle and top nut of In line flame arrester element to facilitate the removal of In line flame arrester elements in the future.

Technical Specifications & Safety Performance FAQ
Q1: Why choose a stainless steel flame arrester over carbon steel?
A1: Stainless steel provides superior resistance to atmospheric and chemical corrosion, significantly extending the service life of the flame elements and housing in harsh or coastal environments.
Q2: What is the primary function of the rain cap on the ZCCGB-III?
A2: The rain cap protects the internal matrix from being obstructed by rain, ice, or debris, ensuring the tank can breathe freely while remaining protected from external fire sources.
Q3: Can the ZCCGB-III be used in in-line piping systems?
A3: No. This model is an “end-of-line” unit specifically for atmospheric venting. For closed-loop piping, you should use an in-line model like the ZCZHQ-II.
Q4: Is the internal flame element replaceable?
A4: Yes. The ZCCGB-III is designed for easy disassembly, allowing the flame elements to be inspected, cleaned, or replaced to maintain peak safety performance.
Q5: Does this device support Hydrogen (Group IIC) gas groups?
A5: While standard units cover IIA/IIB3, we can customize the flame element gap specifically for high-volatility Group IIC gases like hydrogen.
