This guide is intended for reference use only. All final details of design and construction must meet the requirements of federal,
state, and local codes. In cases where plan approval is required, such approval must be obtained from the authority having
jurisdiction before any work is performed.
The equipment presented in the Guide applies only to shop fabricated tanks.

Background Information
T he Morrison Venting Guide was created to assist in equipment selection for above-
ground storage tanks. Examples on the next two pages illustrate a vent selection
process. It is best to work through the examples before attempting to use any of the
tables in this book.
Tables include examples for standard sized tanks. The venting capacity charts and
wetted area tables were taken directly from NFPA 30 and UL 142.
The vent selection chapter includes venting capacities of specific Morrison vents. This
data was obtained from results of laboratory testing and engineering calculations.
Catalog pages of the Morrison equipment follow the vent capacity chart.

from becoming over-pressurized
and rupturing if exposed to fire. Fig.244 Fig.244F

WARNINGObstruction of airflow through vents can result in structural deformation of the tank. Atmospheric conditions and below
freezing temperatures may cause condensation to occur and freeze. Freezing action can restrict movement of poppets and block
screened air passages. Monthly inspection and more frequent inspection in cold weather by someone familiar with the proper
operation of this vent is required to help guard against accidental damage to the tank. For further instructions contact: Morrison Bros.
