The Fluid Containment Compartment Tank is available in both Single and Double Wall models. Single and Double Wall .. bulkheads are also available_ Double Wall Fiberglass Compartment Tanks Fiberglass underground tanks are designed to meet specific performance criteria in dry or wet holes when properly installed with approved backfill materials. Double Wall Fiberglass Compartment Tanks offer all the benefits that standard Doub1e- Wall Tanks provide. This includes 360 degree secondary containment, compatibility with alcohol fuels, rustproof on all four surfaces and the hydrostatic monitoring capability. When it comes to leak detection and precision tank testing, the optional hydrostatic monitor is simply the best. It monitors and continously tests both walls of a Double-Wall Tank in all buried (;onditions. Single Wall Fiberglass Compartment Tanks The single wall compartment tank starts with the basic Fiberglass Single-Wall Tank. In over 29 years and 190,000 installations, there has never been a leak due to rust. And as with our Double- Wall Tank, all Single-Wall Tanks include a 30 year limited warranty against internal and external corrosion as well as against structural failure. Definitiions Single-Wall Bulkhead - a separator that forms a wall between two compartments. Double- Wall Bulkhead - an assembly consisting oftwo single wall .. bulkheads installed adjacent to each other to form two walls between two compartments. The space between the bulkheads is called the bulkhead space. On double-wall tanks, the bulkhead space is not connected to the tank annular space. The bulkhead space is monitored independent of the tank annular space through a bulkhead access fitting with a dry probe. Underwriters Laboratory Approved Fiberglass tanks are U.L. listed and labeled. Our Double-Wall Tanks are U.L. labeled as true Double-Wall Tanks, unlike single wall steel tanks with corrosion protection jackets or composite tanks. Strength Properly installed, Fiberglass Tanks are strong enough to with- stand constant traffic from the heaviest over-the-road vehicle (H-20 axle loads, 32,000 lbs/axle). Rust-proof Steel tank rust can occur internally as well as externally. Attempts to protect the outside of steel tanks will do nothing to prevent internal rust. Since the bulkhead surfaces on steel tanks are not corrosion protected, leaks from compartment to compartment can be a potential problem. You will not have this problem when you use Fiberglass Tanks, since all surfaces including the internal bulkheads are completely rustproof. IA.WARNINGI~~ Gasoline must not be stored adjacent to diesel fuel, fuel oil, kerosene, motor oil, antifreeze or water in compartment tanks unless double wall bulkheads are used with monitoring. Mixing of gasoline, other fuels or products and/or use in incompatible equipment can result in explosion, fire and possible injury or death. ~, r t j> Approx.

Introduction . The GeoFlex Piping System Environ Products Inc offers an environmentally safe, flexible, underground piping system. The GeoFlex Piping System provides continuous piping runs between underground storage tanks and the product dispensers making connections only within containment sumps which are accessible from the surface GeoF/ex Pipe There are two types of flexible pipe constructions available for use in direct burial underground piping applications of hazardous liquids. GeoFlex I is recommended for use with hydrocarbon fuels only. GeoFlex /I is r¡¡commended for both hydrocarbon and alcohol based liquid fuels. Both flexible pipe designs have a smooth inner bore, enhancing hydraulic flow efficiency and providing an excellent sE,aling surface for the metallic couplings. G ~oFlex Piping is available in continuous rolls and packaged in easy to handle protective cartons and reels. Currently available are '-1/2" Pressure Piping Systems GeoFlex Pipe may be used for pressure systems which typically use a submersible pump installed at the tank. This manual further explains pump/piping connections, piping junctions and pipe routing designs for these types of piping systems. .

Piping System Design Pipe Routing The type of pipe routing design selected is dependent on the quantity and orientation of the dispensers, the type of system (either pressure or suction) and the layout of the facility. One constant design requirement is that all pipin£ runs between containment sumps be continuous. Single and dual piping lines may be used depending on the total quantity of dispensers to be selViced and the location and orientation of the islands. The pipe routing design criteria for GeoFlex Piping System is considerably different than that of conventional rigid piping. For either new or retrofit installations good pre- installation planning is a must to insure a proper and hydraulically efficient installation. Design Criteria When designing and installing GooF lex Piping Systems use the following design criteria to insure that the piping system meets Environ's requirements: 1. FI'3xible piping turns should not be less than an 24" (450mm) bend radius. Piping trenches should be cut with sweeping turns. 2. For flexible piping systems which have piping crossovers, install the Crossover Supports at each intersection. 3. All flexible piping runs should be continuous, each beginning and ending within a containment sump. 4. It is: not necessary to have continuous fall back to the tank for pressure tyP(~ piping systems which are routed in series if the Liquid Interstitial Monitoring System is installed. 5. For a pressure piping system using single piping runs routed in series, no more than a total of six dispensing nozzles should be selViced with a 1-112" single piping line to prevent unacceptable product flow rates. 6. If GeoFlex Piping is used for vent lines, make sure there is adequate fall back to the tank from the vent stack. 7. The dispensing product sequence will alternate from one dispenser to the next when "Ioop-arounds" are used. Pipe Crossovers are recommended at these points to correct the change in product sequence in "series" routing of pressure piping systems. Pressure Systems Routing Series Routing For "Pressure Piping Systems" the most effective routing design for flexible piping is "series routing", which means directly interconnecting the underground storage tank to the dispensers by running from one dispenser to the next, without interruption. The example layout below shows two methods of "series routing". Single Piping Lines IIIIIIBII IIIIIIBII Dual Piping Lines ... ÐÐI IDIJ J ...

Manifolded Piping Lines .~ t/jØ ¡ ¡ I - (~ . ,.,-, '~~l. ~ " Pipe Burial Requirements Trench Sizing Piping trenches should be dug in such a manner that the trench width is equal to at least twice the width of all the flexible pipes contained within. All piping shcluld be positioned in the trench so they are a minimum of 2" (50mm) apart. Trench turns should be sweeping rather than sharp angles. The bottom of the trench should be as uniform as possible to eliminate high spots to insure an even layer of bedding material under the pipe. Remove 8111 sharp rocks and debris from the trench bollom before bedding material is installed. Bedding & Backfill Materials SweepíngTums Approved b,~dding and backfill materials for the GeoFlex Piping System shall meet the following specifications: Pea GravE!1 Rounded pea gravel is permitted with a minimum diameter of "1/8" and a maximum diameter of 3/4". Crushed Stone Crushed stone is permitted providing it shall be washed clean and be of the free flowing type with an angular stone size between 1/8" and 112"_ (Meets ASTM C-33 paragraph 9.1 requirements.) Sand River or other approved sand is permitted providing it shall be washed clean and is free flowing.

All bedding and backfill materials should be dry and free from ice, snow and debris. Using material other than those described above without written approval from Environ Products Inc will void the product warranty. .._ d"__ GeoFlex Sloping If a continuous slope or "fall" is required from the last dispenser on a piping run to the tank then the tanks should be buried at a sufficient depth and the pipe entry height into the dispenser sump should be of sufficient elevation so that 1/8" of f,all per lineal foot is maintained. Check your local code regulations for fall requirements other than that which is previously stated. Pressure Piping Systems (With Interstitial Monitoring) For Pressure Piping Systems which are routed in series and the Liquid Interstitial Monitoring System is used, sloping of the piping is unnecessary providing that the elevation of the liquid level monitor is higher than the highest elevation of the piping. The monitor will still be able to detect a leak in the GeoFlex Piping even if there are high and low elevations in the piping. Shallow Dispenser Sumps are recommended for use in this application. Pressure Piping Systems (No Interstitial Monitoring) For Pressure Piping Systems which are routed in series and do not use the Liquid Interstitial Monitoring System then it is is recommended that center sloping between containment sumps be used. This application requires a high point between containment sumps, allowing any leaking product to flow to either containment sump. Deep Dispenser Sumps are required for this type of application. Overburden Unpaved Surface If the surface is unpaved, then a minimum of 12" (300mm) of approved backfill material should be installed between the top of the GeoFlex Piping aild the top of the ground surface. ~::-- À... -J- Suction Piping Systems Sloping the GeoFlex Piping from the dispenser back to the tank is always required for Suction Piping Systems where maintaining prime is necessary. Shallow Dispenser Sumps are recommended for use in this application. Asphalt Surface If the surface is a minimum of 2" (50mm) of asphalt, a minimum of 6" (150mm) of approved backfill material should separate the top of the GeoFlex Piping from the bottom of the asphalt. v Concrete Surface If the surface is a minimum of 4" (100mm) of reinforced concrete, a minimum of 4" (100mm) of approved backfill material should separate the top of the GeoFlex Pipe and the bottom of the concrete. - po. 0." - " - - 1y\..(- y ..l '\ ¡.¿; ~ r r -, '. - r'i v ;.' ~ ~ Backfilling Backfilling of the G'eoFlex Piping System should occur only after the final integrity testing has been performed_ Prior to backfilling completely, hand shovel the backfill material between and to the outside of the pipe to maintain the 2" (50mm) minimum required spacing between the pipes and walls of the trench_ Final backfilling shall be done slowly and evenly so as not to disturb the spacing of the piping. Containment Sumps . Containment Sumps Containment sumps are a very important part of the GeoFlex Piping System. They provide a means of containment for all GeoFlex Piping connections. Containment sumps are available for mounting to the under¡ round storage tanks, underneath the above ground product dispensers, as well as for in- line piping connections between tanks and dispensers. There are a variety of containment sumps which may be used for most applications. The illustr'3tion to the right shows the general locations of these containment sumps.

Dispenser Containment Sumps Specifying Dispenser Sumps Dispenser Sumps are installed directly under a product dispenser, providing a means of secondary containment for the dispenser and associated plumbing. They also provide a means of surface access to the flexible piping connections. Two types of dispenser containment sumps are used with the GeoFlex Piping System. The first is the "Shallow Dispenser Sump" which can be used with both suction and pressure piping systems providing the "Liquid Interstitial Monitoring System" is used in the pressure piping system. The second is the "Deep Dispenser Sump" used primarily for pressure piping systems which are run in series and do not use the "Liquid Interstitial Monitoring System". Refer to the "Dispenser Directory" within the Environ Products Price List to select the appropriate Dispenser Sump model. Dispenser Sump Applications DispensE" Sumps used with Geoflex piping will involve two types of installation applications. The first is a "Junction Application" which occurs only in pressure piping systems routed "in-series" (from one dispenser to the next). This application uses the Tee Fitting to interconnect one flexible pipe section to the next as well as branching off to the dispenser. Shallow Dispenser Sumps These lower profile dispenser sumps have a total height of 19 inches, permitting the GeoFlex Pipe to exit out of the Dispenser Sump at a very high elevation which is ideal for suction piping systems mquiring slope back directly to the tank. They may also be used in pressure piping systems that are run in series and use the "Liquid Level Monitoring System"_ There am two types of Shallow Dispenser Sumps available. The upper illustrations show the "stepped-out" version used mostly for conventional pressure type dispensing units. The lower illustrations show the "non-stepped" Shallow Dispenser Sump which is used typically with suction type dispensing units_ Available soon. Deep Dispenser Sumps These higher profile dispenser sumps have total height of 30 inches permitting the GeoFlex Pipe to exit out of the Dispenser Sump at a very low elevation which is ideal for pressure piping systems requiring slope back indirectly to the tank. Also recommended for use with pressure piping systems run in series which do not use the "Liquid LevE11 Monitoring System". These Dispenser Sumps are height adjustable to accommodate piping fall requirements between all containment sumps. The second application is called a ''Terminating Application" which occurs under the dispenser located at the end of a pressure piping system routed "in-series" or under all dispensers for suction piping systems. This application uses the Elbow Fitting attached to a rigid riser pipe, or the Geoflex Connector to interconnect the flexible pipe section to the dispenser.

Dispenser Sump Mounting Metal Island Forms A typical installation application for Dispenser Sumps is to mount them inside a pre-engineered metal island forms. It is important that the sump be mounted in such a manner that the top of the outside strut is lIu:;h with the concrete surface of the finished island. The plastic rain lip should extend 1" above the concrete to prevent surface run-off from entering the sump. ~ i/:¡I Each sump includes a plastic "Extension Fin" which snaps onto the "Rain Lip" around the top of the sump to catch any outer perimeter leaks from the dispenser. Each Dispenser Sump is fitted with an "End Bracket" at each end of the sump f,)r mounting to some type of support bar. Adjustable support bars are available with some types of pre-engineered metal island forms. Other island forms may require additional field installed support bars. Refer to the details below for additional information. Top Frame Support Fasten the dispenser sump's end brackets to two pieces of lumber which will span across the metal island form and secure the sump_ M'lò ,L Top Frame Support Existing concrete islands can be modified to accommodate the dispenser sump by enlarging the pipe access opening. Under Frame Support Set the dispenser sump's end brackets over two metal cross supports which span across the metal island form and secure the sump. 11.\'/:; ¡., .t:i .__.._h......_..

Entry Boot Flexibility All entlY boots are designed to provide universal flexibility for the pipe or conduit providing up and down, side to side, back to front movement as well as angled pipe entries, This flexibility is important for aligning pipe connections or as a stress relief for the pipe during backfilling and ground movement. Angled Entries Flexible Entry Boots are designed to permit up to a 30' angle of flexibility for pipe and conduit entries. Angles greater than 30' could prevent the boot from sealing around the pipe or conduit. If angled entries are required, make sure the boot opening in the wall has a sanded edge so as not to damage the entry boot. Round Surface Installations Flexible Entry Boots may be installed on round surfaces which have a radius diameter greater than 30" (750mm). The installation procedures are the same as described above except that the bolt holes should be made slightly larger after initial drilling.

I , Flexible Pipe Measuring Pipe Measuring Procedures The GeoFlex Piping is available in continuous rolls. packaged in cartons to prevent shipping and handling damage. It is important not to drag or step on the flexible piping during installation. The flexible piping should be routed in such a manner that all tums have more than an 18" (450mm) bend radius. /I is recommended the carton be placed in the sunlight several hours before measuring and cutting the pipe, so the pipe may relax for easier extension when measuring. In cold weather the flexible pipe will become less flexible. See right for cold weather installation instructions. Measuring Rope The one hundred foot (31m) Measuring Rope is used to measure the proper length of a pipe section which interconnects one containment sump to the next. This rope is fitted with two hooks on one end of the rope. The first hook called thl3 "Boot Hook" is installed 8" (200mm) from the end of the rope. This is used for attachment to the Flexible Entry Boot to secure the rope End Hook Boot Hook // Measuring Between Containment Sumps When measuring the distance between containment sumps to determine the proper length of the pipe section to be cut, the following procedures should be followed. Starting at the tank sump, hook the "Boot Hook' to the inside opening of the installed Flexible Entry Boót (not the "End Hook") then lay the rope down into the trench in the same position that the flexible pipe Sump Boot Hoo~: End Hook / Measuring Rope . . -<~~", Measuring The Flexible Pipe Section After the measurement between the tank sumps has been completed take the measuring rope to a clear and flat area where the roll of flexible piping is located.

Make sure the band clamp of the Entry Boot has been removed or sufficiently loosened to permit the pipe to pass through the rubber boot. Be sure to tighten the band clamp of the Entry Boots alter the installation process has been completed. Note: Prior to connecting the Pipe Coupling to the Pipe Fitting make sure of the following: (1) the Test Boots have been installed to the end of the pipe section (See the installation instructions below.) Sump Installing Crossover Supports Crossover Supports should be used at'all flexible piping crossovers and installed OVE!r the flexible piping at any rigid piping or conduit crossovers. These two piece supports are installed to both the upper and lower flexible pipe sections. They must be installed before backfill begins. They are designed to provide a flat crossover suñace for the upper pipe and also allow for eVE!n backfill compaction around both flexible pipes. To install, align upper and lower support as shown in illustration and fasten together using the supplied clips. Be certain not to scratch piping while installing clips. Installing Test Boots For GeoFlex Piping installations the Test Boots must be installed to the ends of each flexible pipe section in order to provide a means of air pressure integrity testing the interstitial space of the flexible pipe. After all pipe sections have been inserted into the containment sumps and before Pipe Couplings arE' connected to the Pipe Fittings or Pipe Adapters, the Test Boots should be installed. The Test Boot has an outlet opening located on the bottom for (:onnection of the Connector Tubes and Test Tubes which are used for performing an air pressure integrity test as described on page 22 of this product manual. Step #1 Remove both band clamps from the Test Boot before installing the rubber boot over the end of the coupled flexible pipe section. (2) If pipe crossovers are to be included in the piping layout, the installation of the Crossover Supports should be made at this time. (See the installation instructions below.) (3) Read the "Pipe Coupling Connection" instructions carefully on the following page before any coupling to fitting or adapter connections are made. After one end of the flexible pipe section has been connected to a containment sump take the other end of the pipe section to the next containment sump in series and repeat the same connection procedure. After both ends of a flexible pipe section have been connected to the containment sumps. inspect the length of pipe between containment sumps to make sure it is positioned properly in the trench. Sump After integrity testing has been completed, the Test Boots can remain interconnected if product flow is desired to run to the tank sump. If product flow is desired in all sumps then one end of the Connector Tube in each junction type Dispenser Sump should be disconnected from the Test Boot to permit the interstitial space of the GeoFlex Piping to drain into the containment sump. Comply with the following three step installation procedures for proper installation of the Test Boots. Step #2 From inside the containment sump install the Test Boot over the installed Pipe Coupling. Step #3 Center the Test Boot over the end of the outer containment jacket with the small outlet facing downward. Then install and tighten band clamps. ~'. ;' Flexible Pipe Connections ,fj . Pipe Coupling Connections After all containment sumps have been interconnected with all of the flexible pipe sections, Crossover Supports (if required) and the Test Boots have been installed, then connœtion of the Pipe Couplings to Fittings or Adapters may proceed. Comply with the following connection procedures for proper installation. Step #1 Remove the protective cap from the Pipe Coupling and verify that the Gasket is seated in the back of the swivel. Insure that the Test Boot has been properly installed as outlined on page 14. Step #2 Remove the plastic protective cap from the Fitting or Adapter. Inspect the Fitting or Adapter to be sure that it is free of sand or debris. Step #3 Push the Pipe Coupling onto the male threaded Fitting or Adapter and hand tighten. Be sure that the piping does not twist while hand tightening. Step #4 Using two Swivel Wrenches, tighten the coupling to 60 ft. Ibs.. It is not necessary to use a wrench extension to achieve rated torque. When completed, tighten the Band Clamps on the Flexible Entry Boots. '-. I Interconnecting Test Boots Test Boot Connections In order to perform an air pressure integrity test on .the interstitial space of GeoFlex Pipe the entire interstitial space must be interconnected.

Make sure the flexible pipeline is isolated from both the underground storage tank and the above ground product dispenser when conducting this test. All pressure testing should be conducted by qualified and experienced personnel. Do not attempt to disconnect couplings, caps, or plugs unless the air pressure has been released. · Gradually apply air pressure into the flexible piping line, Do not exceed sixty pounds per square inch (60 psi). - · Maintain pressure for a minimum of three hours making sure that there is no drop in pressure. Note: Significant temperature changes can result in a pressure reading differential. · During pressurizing, check the reading on the Test Gauge which should be connected to the Tesf Tube of the interconnected interstitial line. Any increase in pressure will indicate a leak in the primary supply line. · During the pressurizing period, apply a soapy water solution to all piping connections and inspect for bubbles. Supply SystE!m Filling After the supply piping system has been integrity tested and connected to the product dispensers, filling of the pipe line may commence. There should be a controlled method for filling the supply line which provides an adequate means of removing air from the lines. Do not start pumps with empty lines, Hydrostatic Testing Procedures The recommended hydrostatic pressure integrity test procedure for the flexible supply piping is one and one half (1-1/2) times the normal operating pressure of the submersible pump, not to exceed sixty pounds per square inch (60 psi). Make sure the flexible pipeline is isolated from the underground storage tank and the above ground product dispenser when conducting this test. All pressure testing should be conducted by qualified and experienced personnel. Do not attempt to disconnect couplings, caps, or plugs unless the air pressure has been released. · Gradually introduce water at the lowest point into the piping system and bleeding off air at the highest point in the piping system though an open valve. The hydrostatic pressure applied should not exceed 60 psi. · Maintain pressurization for a minimum of one hour' making sure there is no drop in pressure.

Make sure that the surge or pulsation pressure rating of the submersible pump does not exceed that of the maximum operating pressure of the pipe, which is 75 psi. \ Periodic Line Leak Detection Testing Test Requirements Local or federal regulations may require periodic line leak detection tests be performed on the installed piping system. Testing requirements affect both suction and pressum piping systems. A typical requirement is that the piping line must be tested 'In an annual basis at one and one half (1-1/2) times the normal operating pmssure. The typical test method will require detection of 0.10 gallons (.3785 liters) per hour with a 95% probability of detection and a 5% probability of a false alarm. The typical test procedure requires the piping be isolated from the tank and the piping line pressurized to 1-1/2 times the normal operating pressure. A test apparatus which is connected to the piping line will then measure the bleedback volume of the piping system. Acceptable bleedback volumes on different types of piping systems will vary due to their inherent expansion and contraction characteristics. Therefore modifications in the testing procedures are required for piping systems which have significant expansion and contraction characteristics. This characteristic is measured in the average volume increase, per lineal foot under a standard test pressure. GeoFlex Piping Expansion Characteristics GeoFJex Piping is a fiber reinforced smooth bore flexible pipe which demonstrates only minor expansion and contraction characteristics during pressurization and depressurization, similar to that of fiberglass piping.

The connections of the Test Boots are illustrated and explained on page 15 of this product manual. · Testing Assembly Inside all Tank Sumps the Test Gauge is connected to the brass fitting at the end of the 36" (900mm) long Test Tube. The Test Gauge assembly consists of an air gauge with a maximum 15 psi scale connected to a 1/4" brass tee fitting which will thread into the brass fitting at the end of the Test Tube_ Wrap male threads with tellon tape to insure a good seal. Connect air hoses directly to the brass tee fitting as illustrated. Test Gauge Air Line I I Air Pressure Testing Gradually apply air through the Test Gauge and Connector Tube into the interstitial piping line. The interstitial space of the GeoFlex Piping is very small and will not require a large volume of air. Pressurize system to no more than 10 psi. During the pressurization period apply soapy water to the entire length of the piping system and check for any air bubbles. After testing disconnect the Test Gauge and lay the Test Tube down into the bottom of the Tank Sump. :ø,"~ -' ':-. Periodic Interstitial Testing & Maintenance - Routine Sump Inspections Visual inspections of all containment sumps should be made on a routine basis to check for water infiltration or for any signs of leaking product. An electronic or mechanical shut-off leak detection system is recommended for all containment sumps. When changing fuel filters at the dispenser, make sure any spilled product is cleaned out of the bottom of the dispenser sump to prevent a possible fire hazard. Periodic Interstitial Testing Should periodic integrity testing be required to check the integrity of the outer containment wall of the coaxial pipe, reconnect the test boot connector tubes and initiate an air pressure hold test not to exceed ten pounds per square inch (10 psi). Step #1 Connect the Test GaugE! to the Test Tube located inside the Tank Sump. · Step #2 (if necessary) Reconnect all Connector Tubes to the Test Boots located in the junction type Dispenser Sumps. Step #3 (if necessary) Plug the Test Tube fitting located in the terminating type Dispenser Sump. ---- ~Œ~ ß Step #4 Pressurize interstitial space to 10 psi for a period of one hour. If required disconnect all tubes atter test. - -1 i ~ "': :fi :~. .>'d-:-:/: ., =- . GeoFlex Piping System leak Detection System Monitoring Environ Products Inc recommends that all GeoFlex Piping Systems have some type of effective leak detection installed which will signal some form of alarm in the event of a leak collecting in a containment sump. There are many types of leak detection sensors and monitoring systems currently on the marl~et which may be used. The three most common types of leak detection systems are described as follows: 1. Interconnected System: These types of electronic leak detection systems typically consist of a number of remotely located leak detection sensors, interconnected with a central monitoring device. Some of these systems can be connected to switches for turning off equipment such as submersible pumps or suction pumps in the event of an alarm. 2. Remote Electronic Sensors: Generally the remotely located sensors are independent of any central monitoring device. Typically installed in containme'nt sumps, they will electronically switch-off a piece of equipment such as a submersible pump, suction pump or a product dispenser in the event of all alarm. 3. Remot,s Mechanical Sensors: These types of remotely located sensors are not electronic and do not have a central monitor. They typically consist of a mechanic:al tripping float device or a spring activated degradable rod or wire device. In the event of a leak they have the capability of tripping an electronic switching device which will turn-off equipment or they will mechanically trip another mechanical device such as a poppet trip arm on a shear valve. Petro Trip 1/ Environ Product Inc offers the Petro Trip /I remote mechanical leak detection sensor. The Petro- Trip /I is designed to be installed inside of a Dispenser Sump and may also be installed inside of a Tank Sump. This unique automatic shut- off device is designed to trip the shear valve in the event of a fue/leak collecting in the bottom of the Dispenser Sump. This device has a spring loaded arm which is connected to the fusible link of the shear valve by a nylon wire_ This' device can also trip an electronic switch which has a mechanical trip arm switch for shutting down electronic equipment.

This monitoring system requires the interstitial space of all of the flexible pipe sections remain connected after integrity testing is completed, and then filled with a non-toxic, environmentally safe anti-freeze. A specially designed filling procedure will purge out all of the air in the interstitial system for reliable monitoring. The liquid level probe is then connected to the liquid filled interstitial space for continuous monitoring of both the inner supply line and the outer secondary containment jacket. Any change in the liquid level inside the monitoring tube will signal an alarm that something has happened to either the primary or secondary line!. ...¿-- . IÌrMon LDS - .'~ ,~ -I '" GeoFlex Liquid Level Probe The monitor has an "observation tube" which contains two float sensors located at upper and lower levels. The "upper sensor" will activate an alarm and switch off a pump should the liquid level rise due to a leak in the primary pipe of a pressure system. The "lower sensor" will activate an alarm and switch off a pump should the liquid drop due to a leak in the secondary jacket or in the primary supply line of a suction system. The Liquid Level Monitor can be electrically connected to a remotely located visual and audible alarm device for convenient recognition and control. The monitor would also be connected to the 220V electric power source inside the submersible pump housing or at the main electrical breaker box. More details will be available in the LDS (Leak Detection System) product manual. A - Fill Port B - High Level Switch C - Float D - Clear Observation Tube E .

INNOVATION TITEFLEX, the proven innovator in Flexible Con- nector Technology, offers the widest range of products designed for compliance with all aspects of safety, corrosion resistance and fire resistance regulations in force today. 'This guide has been prepared to provide infonnation on all TITEFLEX flexible connectors offered for Underground Storage Tank Systems. TITEFLEX' innovative efforts began with the highest pressure rated STAINLESS STEEL BRAIDED TEFLON ® FLEX CONNECTORS, We then devel- oped the SWIVEL MALE PIPING FITTING, which greatly simplified both installation and servicing opera- tions for flex connectors at the impact valve beneath dispensers, An intensive research and development test Em into corrosion resistance of flex connectors led e introduction of SOIL SAFE ®20 and SOIL ®30 - series of flexible connectors. Notably, our SOIL SAFE 20 and SOIL SAFE 30 products fitted with swivel male pipes mated unsurpassed corrosion resistance and long tenn corrosion warrantees with ease of installation, This proved to be a breakthrough for TITEFLEX, a boon to installers and a new benchmark of perfonnance for customers worldwide. Another TITEFLEX first is FIRE SAFE™, the all-metallic, fire resistant connector. The fifth generation flex connector, SOIL SAFE APC, with all plastic construction to eliminate corrosion, is yet another TITEFLEX innova- tion. The TITEFLEX family continues to grow with innovative ideas and solutions that work, TITEFLEX the true source, the only source that designs and manu- factures all types of connectors, Teflon/stainless, all- metallic, and all-plastic designs, ADVANTAGES All TITEFLEX Connectors offer several advantages to the contractor and system designer: .XIBILITY-Flex connectors withstand flexing and vement without damage or failure, AND eliminate alignment problems. DURABIliTY-The: Teflon or Fire Safe innercore will not break down with age or exposure and the connector is unaffected by the various ethanol/methanol blends of today's fuels, E4SY INSTALIATION-Flex connectors are the fastest and easiest way to mate components at either end of a pipe run. The tight bend radius allows easy bends. Pennanently-attached fittings tighten easy with a hex or pipe wrench. Convenient lay-line assists in proper placement.

Your source: TITEFLEX. STAINLESS STEEL BRAIDED TEFLON Flex Connectors TITEFLEX, the world's largest manufacturer of Teflon PTFE hose, offers the highest pressure rated, UL Listed (Listing Number 18R8) flexible connector for underground tank systems. The connector meets and exceeds the recommended pressure ratings of UL S~ecificatio~, The co~voluted Teflon innercore is if-:-'" reinforced WIth Teflon-lffipregnated fiberglass and type 'V 304 stainless steel wire braid. End fittings are zinc plated carbon steel. Standard assemblies are available in three sizes: 1-1/2 inch, 2 inch and 3 inch with lengths up to 8 feet. FIRE SAF£fM All Metallic Connectors TITEFLEX Fire Safe stainless steel flex connector is engineered to exceed UL's requirements for 1000°F for flre resistance in underground installations, buried or in sumps. Braid reinforcement and innercore are con- structed of 300 Series stainless steel. Fittings are of plated carbon steel suitable for service down to -40°F. Titeflex Fire Safe offers the added feature of full vacuum capability without risk of collapse, and when compared with available competitive connectors, the rugged and durable all-metallic construction of Titeflex Fire Safe provides greater resistance to the damage that is commonly associated with_mishandling or abuse during installation. Use Fire Safe in tank sumps or dispenser box installations. ("',;FEATURES: .~. . , Facilitates compliance with NFP A 30 3-1.3, , Complete fuel compatibility with all grades of fuel, including methanol and ethanol. · Full vacuum service capability. · Available in 1-1/2" and 2" (consult factory for larger sizes). · Offered with a full range of end tenninations including swivel male: pipe, SOIL SAFE® 20 Teflon Connectors TITEFLEX revolutionized flex connectors with the unique design and construction of SOIL SAFE, The outer portion of the SOIL SAFE 20 connector is con- structed of a rugged abrasion-resistant plastic braid. A second layer of polyethylene film provides a moisture barrier and is tension wrapped over a third layer of a protective stainless steel braid, This metallic braid providès damage resistance in handling and it is com- pletely encapsulated for protection from exposure. The flexible, chemically inert convoluted Teflon liner, the same as that used in stainless braided flex connec- .'--.. tors, offers compatability with all blends of fuel, includ- " ing ethanol and methanol. Carbon steel end fittings have an extra heavy layer of zinc dichromate plating for enhanced corrosion resistance. Because the carbon steel end fittings are, by design, electrolytically isolated from a corrosion circuit created by contact of dissimilar metals (stainless steel braid and carbon steel fittings) found on standard connectors, SOIL SAFE 20 is im- mune to galvanic corrosive failure that stainless steel braided connectors may experience. A 20 year corro- sion warranty is available, backing SOIL SAFE 20's design and perfonnance. Use Soil Safe 20 with isolator boots for 20 year corrosion warranty. SOIL SAF~ 30 Teflon Connectors Offering all the same advantages of rugged construc- tion as SOIL SAFE 20, SOIL SAFE 30 provides the additional protection of an engineered, factory-fitted cathodic protection system. Because we have penna- nently attached the anode at the factory, problems typically associated with other field-fitted anode hose connectors have been eliminated, SOIL SAFE 30's integral anodes are specifically designed to protect the exposed end fittings of the connector for a minimum of 30 years in most soil conditions, backed by an available corrosion warranty. Use Soil Safe 30 for direct burial with 30 year corrosion warranty. SOIL SAFE® APe Non-metallic ConnectolS This is the fIrst and only non-metallic flex connector to be listed by Underwriters Laboratories. The All Plastic Connector (APC) is designed to comply with EP A, State, and Local regulations governing corrosion resis- tance while eliminating the need for cathodic protection, monitoring or electrolytic isolation in single wall back- filled systems. All SOIL SAFE APC components have been engineered with state-of-the-art plastic materials that will not corrode under any soil conditions. The fIttings are molded from a proprietary fiber reinforced space age resin which provides strength for damage resistance and dimensional stability equivalent to steel without corrosion! The hose offers a new-generation innercore of Teflon, reinforced with a rugged, abrasion- resistant, nylon monofIlament braid. The combination provides superior kink and crush resistance, flexibility and unmatched vacuum capability, Use Soil Safe APC for direct burial in any soil condition, Male Pipe , 108992-24-L (550) 4.5 111360-24-L (150) 4.5 111398-24-L (150) , x MalePipe. -32-L (400) 6.0 -32-L (150) 6.0 -32-L (150) . -48-L (50) 15.0 -48-L (50) 15.0 -48- L (50) Male Pipe 110165-24-L (150) 11 1 394-24-L (150) 111404-24-L (Ì50) . ,x Swivel Malè -32-L (150) -32-L (150) -32-L (150) ] .,' Swivel Male 11 1 430-24-L (150) 111450-24-L (150) 111431-24-L (150) x Female (2"), -32-L (150) -32-L (150) -32-L (150) , 111351-24-L (550) 111393-24-L (150) . 111415-24-L (150) -32-L (400) -32-L (150) -32-L .

OPW 6 1 S 0 OVERFILL PREVENTION VALVES . Our Patented Design is the Most Effective and the Most Versatile. The OPW 6150 Overfill Prevention Valve is designed to be a simple, low cost solution to the shut-off of product delivery to underground storage tanks. The shut-off valve is an integral part of the drop tube used for gravity filling. The OPW 6150 allows easy installa- tion without breaking concrete and no special manholes are required. The OPW 6150 is a two-stage shut- off valve. When the liquid level rises to about 95% of tank capacity - the valve mechanism is released and closes auto- matically with the flow. This reduces the flow rate to approximately 5 gpm through a bypass valve. The operator may then stop the filling process, dis- connect and drain the delivery hose. As long as the liquid exceeds the 95% level, the valve will close automatically each time delivery is attempted. If the storage tank is overfilled to an unsafe condition and the liquid rises to about 98% of tank capacity - the bypass valve closes. No additionalliq- uid can flow into the tank until the level drops below a reset point. Designed to meet two point, coaxial, poppeted coaxial and remote fill appli- cations, the OPW 6150 family contin- ues to grow. The 6150-3000 provides two point overfill protection for 3" riser pipes, and the 6150-1000 features a grooved tube design for use with tank gauging systems. Methanol and CARB approved models are available. . . C> F» VV FU£UHG COMPONeNTS ~ At>OVf,R RESOURCESCOU",,"NY ~ Features of the 61S0 Series: · .

A7. Anchoring It is the responsibility of the tank owner or the owner's technical representative: . To detennine if mechanical anchoring is required for it specific job site. .0 consider all JPotential sources 'ofwater, such as: D Underground water table. D Rain water runoff, flooding, etc. (which may fill a slow draining tank excavation). 6 -What-islnepurpose of anchoring? - ~-- Mechanical anchoring is used to secure the tank in condi- tions where the tank could become buoyant (i.eo water in the hole). There are two common methods of mechanical anchoring: · Concrete anchor pad. · Deadman anchors. Note: Both methods require the use of Fluid Containment fi- berglass anchor straps. When do you need to anchor your tank? ¡fwater can enter the hole, Fluid Containment recommends that tanks be mechanically anchored unless the minimum burial depth from tank top to grade meets or exceeds the values in the following chart: (.7:,~ 0" '~ ol.,j Anclloring Cllart Minimum burial depth to achieve 1.2 safety factor as- suming worst case conditions of water to grade and the tank empty.
