Floor type pressure relief valves. Primarily used on storage tanks p1000axl materials include cast brass or bronze for the main valve body quality stainless steel 300 series internals. When this condition occurs the hydrostatic pressure will open the cover of the valve allowing water to enter thereby equalizing pressure inside and outside. From what i can tell the wall type valves are slightly more reliable than the floor type but they also allow more head of water to build up as. In the example below an upper pressure relief valve drain not visible behind vent connector has been tied into the drain for the lower one.

Trumbull floor type tank pressure relief valves are cast in the bottom of tanks of treatment plants to keep empty tanks from floating from an excess of groundwater beneath them.

The p1000axl 150c pressure relief valve is set at the p1000axl 150c pressure relief valve is set at 150 psi and utilized on water heating storage vessels for protection against over temperature or excessive pressure not for steam service.
