Model 2100
Gauge Hatch
SECTION I
Models 2100 is primarily designed to provide easy access into storage tanks for gauging and obtaining samples. May also provide additional pressure relief as a supplement for normal or emergency venting. Available with either a non-locking or locking hatch.
LATCH DESIGNS
No Latch - (Non Locking)
Knob Latch - (Locking)
SECTION II
II. INSPECTION AND STORAGE:
The gauge hatch is carefully packaged to prevent damage or contamination during shipping. Inspect the equipment when it is received and report any damage to the carrier immediately. The gauge hatch should be
stored with all protective covers in place.
SECTION III
III. INSTALLATION
WARNING
The gauge hatch must be installed in a horizontal position. The tank nozzle on which the hatch is mounted should have the same nominal diameter as the gauge hatch. It is recommended that the tank nozzle fl ange face be within 1 degree of horizontal. Minimum clearance between tank roof and face of the hatch fl ange must be at least equal to the valves’ nominal fl ange bore. Tank nozzle bore must be greater than or equal to fl ange bore.
The Model 2100 Gauge Hatch is designed to mate with a 150 lb ASME fl ange. Torque guidelines are provided in Table 1.
Before installing the 2100 Gauge Hatch remove all packing materials.
Inspect the gasket seating surface of the tank nozzle ange. It must be clean, free of scratches, corrosion, tool marks and fl at.
Gauge hatches are furnished with fl at faced fl anges. It is recommended that they be installed on mating fl at face fl anges with a full faced gasket. If the fl at face of the hatch is sealing against a raised face steel fl ange, a spacer or fi ller ring must be used to fi ll the annular space of the raised face steel fl ange.
Make sure the gasket is suitable for the application and is in good condition. For full face gaskets, we recommend the use of a 1/8-inch Expanded PTFE gasket.
Center the gasket within the bolt circle of the tank ange and carefully set the gauge hatch on the fl ange nozzle and align the bolt holes.
All stud threads must be lubricated to obtain proper torque results. A washer should be used under each stud nut.
Install the studs, washers and nuts and tighten nuts hand tight. Check proper alignment of fl ange faces. Misalignment of fl ange faces will cause bending stresses at the fl ange and fl ange joint and damage may result. Correct any misalignment prior to applying torque to nuts.

FICATIONS
All nuts must be torqued in proper sequence and equal increments. Proceed through the tightening sequence until the recommended torque is attained.
Recheck the torque on each bolt in the same sequence as bolts previously tightened may have relaxed through the torque sequence.
SECTION IV
IV. MAINTENANCE - Replace Diaphragm
Maintenance procedures hereinafter are based upon removal of the gauge hatch from the tank fl ange.
CAUTION
DO NOT attempt to remove a locked gauge hatch from a tank or process vessel without fi rst bleeding all pres- sure from the system.
Hatch with Locking Feature:
Knob Latch: Rotate knob (19) CCW slowly several revolutions to allow eye bolt (12) and washer (17) to slide out and dis-engage from the hinge arm assembly (2).
All Hatches:
Remove cotter pin and washer (35) from arm
pin (9). Slide arm pin (9) out of fl ange base (1). Lift arm (2) and pallet (30) sub-assembly up to remove and place on work surface.
Gauge Hatch without Weights: Flip arm/pallet
(2,3) sub-assembly over and secure center bolt (20) in a vice. Remove the “S” hook (33) from center bolt (20). Rotate pallet nut (24) CCW and remove nut, lock washer (23), fl at washer (22) and diaphragm retainer (5).
Remove diaphragm retainer plate (5) and diaphragm (4).
Clean and inspect pallet (3) seating surface.
Apply TFE paste around the hole in the pallet (3).
Install new diaphragm (4) in recess of the pallet (3). Re-install diaphragm retainer plate (5), fl at washer (22), lock washer (23) and nut (24). Torque nut to 20 ft-lbs.
Re-insert “S” hook (33) into the hole in the center bolt (20). Use pliers to close the end of the “S” hook and secure it so it can not be easily removed from the center bolt (20).
Flip arm/pallet (2,3) sub-assembly over and re-install the whole pallet (3) /hinge arm assembly (2) on to the ange base assembly (1). Align the pin holes and insert the pivot pin (9), washer (35) and cotter pin (15). Turn back the ends of the cotter pin to secure.
Raise and lower arm/pallet (2,3) assembly to confi rm that diaphragm (4) rest evenly on the seating surface of the fl ange base (1).
Gauge Hatch with Weights: Flip arm/pallet
(2,3) sub-assembly over and secure center bolt nut (25) in a vice. Remove the “S” hook (33) from center bolt (20). Rotate nut (24) CCW to remove nut (24), lock washer (23) and fl at washer (22).
2
If hatch includes a locking feature, engage eye bolt (12) and washer (17) over groove in the hinge arm (2) and secure in place.
