Model L12-TH

Round Pan Thief Hatch

The LaMOT Valve & Arrestor Model L12-TH Thief Hatch incorporates a spring loaded pressure/vacuum relief valve within the device. Thief Hatches are used on steel or fiberglass (FRP) low pressure storage tanks. The hatch has a gauging hook integrated to the base to be used while sampling the tank, providing access for level gauging, sampling, and overpressure/vacuum protection for the tanks, all in one compact design. Superior sealing is achieved from an active envelope pressure gasket that expands around the base to increase seal until the designated pressure setting is reached. This design saves you money by greatly reducing vapor loss compared to a traditional thief hatch design.

• Each Hatch is individually tested and certified at factory

• Each hatch has its own serial number – for tracking and traceability

• Precision machining and manufacturing to accomplish superior sealing

• Leak Rate less than 1.0 SCFH at 90% of set pressure

• Ultra-tight sealing reduces product leakage and fugitive emissions
