OPW 53VML 3 " BALL FLOAT VENT VALVES Federal EPA Technical Standards Federal EPA technical standards for overfill prevention of petroleum UST's allow the use of ball float vent valves that restrict the delivery flow when the UST is over- filled.The EPA requirements state that this flow restriction must occur when the tank is no more than 90%full.The OPW 53VML series is designed to consistently and dramatically reduce delivery flow rate. (See OPW 30MV to comply with EPA standards for a 30 minute warning.) Important Installing the incorrect length OPW 53VML for your specific UST application may result in delivery flow restriction at liquid levels exceeding the 90%maximum established by EPA. Always consult the appropriate tank charts and determine the specifies of your UST installation to determine the appropriate length OPW 53VML.The illustration and instructions below are intended to serve as a guide in this determination.
