Function and Description

Main Component – PROTEGO® Flame Arrester Unit

The Sampling and Air Bleed Valve PROTEGO® ZE/WU consists of the threaded angle valve in pressure stage PN25 (1) with hand wheel as standard design, a female threaded connection (pipe thread G½“up to G1“), and the flame arrester Flame arrester Device fitted to the opening of an enclosure, or to the connecting pipe work of a system of enclosures, and whose intended function is to allow flow but prevent the transmission of a flame. (2) with cover (3). Optionally, an elbow fitting (4) is available as outlet for sampling. The PROTEGO® Flame Arrester (2) consists of the Flame Arrester casing with FLAMEFILTER®. The valve opens manually with the hand wheel. For sampling, a suitable container is required.

For Explosion Group IIB

The simple and sturdy design makes it suitable for nearly all flammable liquids. This device Device A device is a pipe component that influences the media flow by opening, closing, or partially shutting off the flow channel or by dividing or mixing the media flow. can be installed in any position.
