Beckett 14024 Mushroom Vent Cap 1.5 in Fpt Oil Tank

Product Description

The BECKETT 14024 is a 1.5-inch female pipe thread (FPT) mushroom vent cap designed for use on heating oil storage tanks. The mushroom-style cap allows tank vapors to vent freely while blocking rain, debris, and insects from entering the vent line. It threads directly onto the 1.5-inch FPT vent fitting on the tank top or vent riser pipe. Oil burner service technicians and fuel oil delivery contractors install this cap as part of routine tank maintenance or new tank commissioning. Its simple threaded design requires no special tooling and provides a reliable weatherproof seal at the vent opening.

This vent cap is used on residential and light commercial above-ground and underground heating oil storage tanks. It is a standard replacement or new-installation component for any tank equipped with a 1.5-inch FPT vent connection. Fuel oil service professionals typically install or replace this cap during annual tank inspections, after tank fill overfills, or when the existing cap is found cracked, clogged, or missing. Proper vent cap installation is required to maintain safe tank venting and prevent moisture intrusion.

Key Features

• 1.5-inch FPT threaded connection for direct installation on standard vent risers
• Mushroom cap profile allows vapor release while blocking rain and debris
• Designed specifically for heating oil tank vent applications
• Straightforward thread-on installation with no special tools required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement vent cap for residential and commercial heating oil storage tanks equipped with a 1.5-inch FPT vent fitting.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed oil burner technicians or qualified fuel oil service contractors. Before removing or replacing the vent cap, confirm the tank is not being filled or actively venting pressure. Thread the cap onto the 1.5-inch FPT vent riser by hand and snug with a strap wrench or pipe wrench, taking care not to overtighten and crack the cap body. Local fire codes and NFPA 31 requirements may govern vent cap specifications for oil storage tank installations.
