RELIEF VALVE
Model 1200A is designed to protect your
tank from damage created by overpressure or
excessive vacuum. Costly product evaporation
losses due to normal tank “breathing” are greatly
This page intentionally left blank MODEL 1200A
reduced. Because the Model 1200A retains toxic
vapors, atmospheric contamination is minimized.
This helps to provide increased fire protection and
safety.
SPECIAL FEATURES
Model 1200A offers Groth’s special “cushioned
air” seating. Superior performing fluoropolymer
seating diaphragms are standard to minimize
sticking caused by resinous vapors and atmospheric
moisture. The Model 1200A has a self draining
housing body and drip rings to protect seating
surfaces from condensate and freezing. This
design also avoids dangerous pressure or vacuum MODEL 1200A
buildup due to binding or clogging of the valve.
Buna-N, KFM and other seating diaphragms can
be provided when required. To insure the proper
alignment of seating surfaces, there is peripheral
guiding and a center stabilizing system.

WHAT IS A FULL LIFT TYPE VALVE?
A Full Lift Type Valve is a relief valve which attains full stable lift
at only 10% overpressure. Like all Groth Pressure/Vacuum Relief
Flow capacity values listed above are based on full open valves at 100% over-vacuum. Example—To find “C” factor from table: Valves, the Full Lift Type Valve is a modulating valve which offers
Read “C” factor for 42% Over-vacuum at intersection of row 40 and column 2 near zero blowdown, meaning it reseats near set pressure. These
For an equivalent size fiberglass valve, reduce tabulated capacities by 32%. “C” factor at 42% OV = 0.55 performance capabilities are possible due to the harmonization of
Read the flow capacity at 100% over-vacuum directly from the table above. Use linear “C” Factor Table the nozzle, seating, and pallet areas such that the valve will achieve

If the allowable over-vacuum is less than 100%, modify the flow capacity using the
appropriate “C” factor from the table. If allowable over-vacuum is more than 100%,

PRESSURE / VACUUM RELIEF VALVE
WITH FLAME ARRESTER
The Model 8800A Pressure/Vacuum Valve & Flame
Arrester combination units are designed to protect your
tank from damage created by overpressure or excessive
vacuum, at the same time that they provide protection
from externally caused sources of heat and ignition. The
result is increased fire protection and safety.
MODEL 8800A
SPECIAL FEATURES
The Model 8800A Pressure/Vacuum Relief Valve
offers Groth’s special “cushioned air” seating. Superior
performing fluoropolymer seating diaphragms are
standard to minimize sticking caused by resinous vapors
and atmospheric moisture. Self draining housings and
drip rings protect seating surfaces from condensate and
freezing.
End-of-Line
• Gas Group: NEC D, IEC IIA
• Operating Temperature <= 140°F (60°C)

Indicates a 3" x 3" Model 1720 A with CS body, 316SS seat, 316SS pallet, Buna-N diaphragm, no steam jacket and no special options. (PIPE-AWAY)
The Model 8820A combination units are used for
pressure and vacuum relief where vapors must be piped
away. They are designed to protect your tank from
damage created by overpressure or excessive vacuum,
at the same time that they provide protection from
externally caused sources of heat and ignition. The result MODEL 8820A
is reduced emissions level and increased fire protection
and safety.
SPECIAL FEATURES
The Model 8820A Pressure/Vacuum Relief Valve
with flanged pipe-away outlet offers Groth’s special
“cushioned air” seating. Superior performing
fluoropolymer seating dia phragms are standard to
minimize sticking caused by resinous vapors and
atmospheric moisture. Self draining housings and drip
rings protect seating surfaces from condensate and
freezing. Buna-N, FKM and other seating diaphragms
can be provided when required.

Flame Arrester
The Groth Model 7758A Deflagration & Detonation
Flame Arrester inhibits flame propagation in
gas piping systems. The design of the Model
7758A Flame Arrester makes it ideal to protect
liquid storage tanks containing both NEC Group D
and Group C vapors (IEC Class IIA and IIB1 through
IIB3 vapors) with a Maximum Experimental Safe
Gap (MESG) equal to or greater than 0.026"
This page intentionally left blank. [0.65 mm].
APPLICATIONS
Models are available in flange sizes from
2" through 12" (50 - 300 mm) for the following A

applications:
• In-line or end-of-line deflagrations in any
piping configuration
• Stable detonations in any piping configuration
• Unstable detonations in any piping
configuration (element sizes <=12")
• Pre-ignition system pressure up to
19.7 psia (1.36 bara) (see specifications table) B
• Pre-ignition system temperature to
140° F (60° C)
• Bi-directional with respect to flow and
ignition source
• Factory installed integral flame sensors
are available
MODEL 7758A
FEATURES
Housings are available in carbon steel, 316SS and Alloy C276 and elements in 316SS, Alloy C276 and
other corrosion resistant alloys.
These arresters are compact with high flow capacity and low pressure drop. Elements are easily
removed in-line for cleaning and maintenance and are economical to replace if necessary. Contact the
factory for additional features and options.

Vacuum Relief-Pilot Valve Actuated
Operation of a Pilot Actuated Vacuum Relief Valve is similar
to pressure relief except for the physical connections
between the pilot and main valve. The vacuum sense lines
(9 & 10) connect the spring chamber breather port and the
pilot valve exhaust port to the main valve total pressure

pickup as shown.
Atmospheric pressure is applied under the boost and sense

diaphragms and in the upper dome (B) through the breather
port (3). Below set vacuum, the spring force is greater than
the lift created by tank vacuum above the sense diaphragm
(7) so both the pilot valve and the main valve will remain
closed.
At set vacuum, the pilot valve opens and the upper dome Open Condition—Direct Actuated
is reduced to tank vacuum. The diaphragm is attached by
a second actuator support plate (8) for vacuum operated
valves. Main valve internal pressure under the actuator
diaphragm (1) opens the main valve. The valve remains open
and flowing until the system reaches the pilot valve reseat
pressure.
Note: Backflow pressure relief prevention is provided for

pilot operated vacuum relief valves in case positive system
pressure can occur. A bypass line with a check valve is used
to apply pressure to the upper dome. Another check valve
prevents pressure discharge from the pilot vent.

WHY BLANKET GAS REGULATORS? APPLICATIONS
Blanket Gas Regulators from Groth Corporation Groth blanket gas regulators provide a controlled

in the vapor space of a storage tank. A blanket gas applications:
regulator supplies an inert gas to prevent a vacuum • Refineries

to maintain the desired blanket pressure when the • Pulp & Paper Plants
temperature drops, and to prevent outside air from • Food & Beverage Storage
contaminating the tank or creating a flammable or • Chemical & Petrochemical Plants
explosive environment. A blanket gas pressure as
low as 0.5 InWC prevents outside air and moisture FEATURES
from entering the storage vessel and reduces •Simple operation, spring-loaded “push-push”

Standard Settings and maximum tank working pressure Pilot operated valve/modes of failure
TPD2 TPD3
1200A Series Valves A pilot operated pressure relief valve uses tank pressure acting on the actuator diaphragm to hold the valve
closed, while tank pressure acting on the pallet attempts to force it open. The pilot directs tank pressure
into the valve actuator below set pressure and atmospheric pressure into the actuator above set pressure.
If any part of the pilot operated system fails, the valve actuator pressure will be vented and tank pressure
on the pallet will force the valve open, for example:
• If the actuator diaphragm fails, the actuator will be vented to the valve outlet.
• If the pilot valve diaphragm fails, actuator pressure will be vented to atmosphere through the failed
diaphragm.
• If a pilot valve component [spring, seat/seal, etc.] fails which prevents the pilot from holding tank
pressure, the actuator will be vented to atmosphere.
Therefore, the mode of failure is “fail open.”
A pilot operated vacuum relief valve uses tank vacuum acting on the actuator diaphragm to force the valve
open, while tank vacuum acting on the pallet attempts to hold it closed. The pilot valve directs atmospheric
pressure into the valve actuator below set pressure and tank vacuum into the actuator above set pressure.
