Atmospheric relief valve type 1100
Installation and maintenance instructions
1. Description
Sapag atmospheric relief valves type 1100 have been selected for installation because of their
performance features, reliability and ease of maintenance. They are designed to protect vessels
under vacuum during normal operation against excessive pressure.
The tightness is achieved using a rubber seal seating on a stainless steel seat.
A water ring is provided on the disc to prevent any leak from the atmosphere to the vessel when it
is under vacuum.
Whenever part names are used in this manual, piece number in parenthesis follows. The piece
numbers are an aid to identifying the parts in Figure 1 and the relevant part list.

Proper handling, storage, installation, maintenance and operation are essential to the safe and
reliable operation of any pressure relief product. The relevant procedures recommended by Sapag

used when, and as recommended.

given in this manual are by no means exhaustive. Pentair Valves & Controls cannot be expected to
know, evaluate and advise customers of all conceivable ways in which tasks might be performed,
