• Consists of upper chamber and lower chamber in required 4:1 volume ratio
• O-ring gaskets provide tight seal between chambers and at gauge coupling
• One-opening type is for gasoline and other products having a Reid Vapor Pressure below 26psi (180kPa)
• Two-opening type is for liquid products having a Reid Vapor Pressure above 26psi (ASTM D323) and for LPG (ASTM D1267)
• Lower chamber of two-opening apparatus includes straight-through ball valve and 1/4 in. needle valve
