Safety connector for pressure tank

摘要

A pressure tank connector is described which is formed integral with the cylindrical side wall portion of the tank so that such connector deforms and acts as a safety valve when the fluid pressure within the tank exceeds a predetermined pressure. The deformed connector produces a space between it and an insert member which enables the pressurized liquid or gas within the tank to slowly leak out through such space. In the preferred embodiment, the connector includes a threaded cylindrical connector portion joined by a conical projection portion to the side wall of the tank. The fluid escapes from the tank through a space formed between the threads of such connector and those of an external fitting screwed into such connector.
