The device is secured in place in the interior of an overhead pipe on the top of a tank on a tank truck or other vehicle used for transporting bulk liquid cargo. The device prevents liquid backflow from entering overhead piping due to sloshing action of the liquid during transport. The device allows air to flow through the device so that air may be supplied to the tank, as well as vented from the tank, through the device.

Claim (Index 5):
The device of  claim 1 , wherein the tubular housing comprises a plurality of detachable segments configured to secure to each other to form the tubular housing.
