Producdt Description:
Reliable Fire Protection for Atmospheric Storage Tanks The ZCZGB-IV Flame Arrester With Cap is a critical end-of-line safety device designed to allow storage tanks to breathe while preventing external ignition sources from entering the vapor space. Specifically engineered for atmospheric tanks, this unit quenches flames using a precision-wound corrugated element before they can cause a catastrophic explosion.
Weatherproof and Durable Construction Unlike open vents, the ZCZGB-IV features an integrated protective cap that shields the fire-retardant element from rain, snow, and debris, ensuring consistent airflow in all weather conditions. The body is made of engineering plastic nylon PA injection molding, providing exceptional chemical resistance and a superior strength-to-weight ratio. To ensure long-term reliability in humid or coastal environments, every unit is finished with a galvanized rustproof surface.

Ensuring Tank Safety with ZCZGB-IV Flame Arresters
Q1:What is the function of the “Cap” on the ZCZGB-IV?
A1:The cap acts as a weather shield, preventing rain, debris, and birds from clogging the flame arrester element, which ensures the tank can breathe freely without maintenance issues.
Q2:Why choose Nylon PA over traditional metals?
A2:Our engineering plastic nylon PA is lightweight, non-sparking, and offers natural resistance to chemical erosion, making it ideal for volatile vapor environments.
Q3:Does the galvanized surface prevent rust in coastal areas?
A3:Yes. The galvanized rustproof surface is specifically designed to withstand salt air and high humidity, ensuring the valve remains functional without seizing.
Q4:How often should the corrugated element be cleaned?
A4: We recommend a semi-annual inspection. Because the ZCZGB-IV has a simplified structure, the element can be quickly accessed, cleaned, and replaced to maintain zero-clog performance.
Q5:Can the ZCZGB-IV handle explosive vapors?
A5:Absolutely. It is designed to quench the fierce flames of deflagration and can withstand corresponding thermal and mechanical effects as a primary safety barrier.
