Bennett Regulator Guards offers a variety of vent skirts, designed to adapt
to various metering equipment.
| Currently, we offer seven vent skirts. First is the
Fisher vent skirt, model
# FVS-394, designed specifically for the Fisher 254 and 252 regulators.
Also, we have our Meter Bar vent skirt, model
# MBVS-1200 AP. This is an all plastic product which comes in both 3/4 and
1 inch male threaded sizes. This product will fit a wide variety of meter
bar regulators which position their vent directly above the meter, in the
6 o'clock position. This product replaces our original model MBVS-1200 which
contained an aluminum insert.
Just released, the RVS-307 AP vent skirt is a solid
molded product designed to fit a variety of regulators positioned on the
service riser. It is currently offered with a molded 1 inch and 3/4 inch male threaded
fitting.
Based on conversations with utility personnel, a pipe nipple was
sometimes required to extend the vent skirt beyond the body of the
regulator. Therefore we now produce the RVS 307
AP EX, which is
manufactured with either a 3/4 inch or 1 inch male threaded fitting. The 2 1/4
inch
extension allows the vent skirt to conform to various regulators.

All models are designed to protect against back
splash, as shown in our animation
which demonstrates effects of this on an unprotected meter. |

All of our vent skirts are manufactured from HDPE, one of the best suited plastics
for outdoor usage. It's impact strength tests better than most plastics. It performs
well at high temperatures and yet maintains its high impact strength at very low
temperatures.
HDPE also resists the build up of insect proteins. The product has a UV stabilizer
injected to protect it from the suns damaging rays. In certain situations, our products
may be manufactured with LDPE, designed for greater durability in extreme temperatures.
Our products have been awarded US Patent no. 5,810,029 and are being used
widely across the United States.
