Bleed Ring
Bleed Rings (also known as a “vent rings”, “flushing rings” or “drip rings”) provide a means for draining/venting of pipe streams, sample take off points, attaching instruments or even bleeding of valves.
Bleed rings are fitted to standard flanges and are retained within the flange bolt circle using conventional gaskets or RTJ rings.
Bleed rings come in many different materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, etc… depending on the intended use. They provide a convenient way of draining piping, taking samples, attaching instruments or even bleeding of a valve. When used with a valve and blind flange, it allows you to relieve the pressure if your valve is leaking before you remove the flange.
