UEA Series
With Eccentric Body and

The Protectoseal UEA Series prevents the spread of

gas or vapor explosions in pipelines, when a horizontal
installation is required or when the pipe system is very
close to other objects or a wall and an eccentric design
is a better fit. It does it under the harshest conditions,
including unstable detonation, stable detonation and
deflagration. It’s eccentric housing design avoids
condensation build up in and around the element,
ensuring maximum life and optimal performance.
