CLEAN/INSPECT PRESSURE/VACUUM FOAM TANK 
VENT
The pressure/vacuum foam tank valve is supplied for use on sealed foam tanks. 
There are internal passageways that provide a path for air to move between the 
tank and a center cavity in the vent. These passageways are self-draining and designed 
to prevent splashing foam from entering the center cavity and clogging the pressure 
and vacuum valves. 
 The pressure and vacuum valves are easily accessed and disassembled for periodic 
cleaning or inspections. Unscrew the cap from the main body and lift the valves out 
of the center cavity. Clean all parts with warm water.
Note: The internal pressure and vacuum valves are different sizes. Make sure 
to reassemble these valves correctly.
