Deck General USCG Question #1202 (Set 37)

What is TRUE of pressure/vacuum valves?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — All of the above.

Under 46 CFR 32.55, pressure/vacuum (PV) valves handle minor thermal breathing, require regular maintenance to prevent sticking, and must actuate at lower pressure thresholds than high-capacity PV breakers, which serve as secondary safety devices during high-rate cargo transfers.
