1W varied models of flexible penetration fittings, Bravo Systems engineered an entire line of Tank-Spec Fiberglass Fittings (F-Series)that allow you to install and forget while being compliant at the highest level. The F-Series provides unquestionable peace of mind as the fittings cannot deteriorate or fail. We are also the only manufacturer that provides an all-fiberglass conduit penetration fitting. Take a look at our line of F-Series fittings Here. Q5: Do I have to be certified to repair or test Bravo Float-Trip Mechanisms? A:No. It is not required as long as the installer or repair technician follows the directions contained in our latest Installation Manuals. The most current Installation Manual from our website must be printed and used. These can be found at www.sbravo.com/install. Make sure that you have your paperwork in order and records are kept. Have the owner or other authority sign and date the Installation Manual that you download from our website. The most important things to know are these: 1)The float must be removed and tested to ensure it has not been breached and cannot be filled with liquid. 2)There can be no debris within the float cup so as to impede the travel or function of the float. 3)After connecting the ball chain to the shear valve retainer, testing the poppet shutoff must only be done by adding liquid to the cup until it trips (remove all liquids after this test). You must never test this mechanism by pulling the float stem, arm or chain because you bypass the intended function of the float. If the float has been penetrated in any way and allows fuel to enter it, then it will not trip the shear valve poppet. The purpose of the Bravo Float Trip Mechanism is to minimize the amount of fuel needed to trip the shear valve and to maximize the amount of time a maintenance crew will have to get to the sump in question to repair it. However, Bravo Systems recommends that the National Certification Test(primarily for SingleWall products) be completed by technicians in the field because it covers the installation and repair of our SingleWall product lines that feature Float Trip Mechanisms, but also requires the individual read through the Instruction Manuals, helping to educate and familiarize them with the products. Q6a: Do Bravo DoubleWall Sumps include Interstitial Fluid? A:Yes. For each DoubleWall product, Bravo interstitial fluid is provided, with 1/2 to 1 gallon extra. Q6b: Do Bravo DoubleWall Sumps include all the necessary Fittings, Hoses and Manometers? A:Yes. There is a monitoring manometer and an atmospheric manometer. Manometer= Fluid Reservoir. All accessories for the continuous monitoring and testing are installed. All Bravo DoubleWall sumps ship under a continuous 20" Hg vacuum test. The larger of the two is used for visual inspection of fluid level and is the unit that a float-style electronic level sensor is installed in, when required. The atmospheric manometer is used to help balance the fluid level within the sump. 07: Do Bravo Sumps include Vapor Shear Valves? A: No. Bravo Systems Highly Recommends its B1 Vapor Shear Valve which is both UL and CARB Approved. Most Bravo UDC sumps also do not include the vapor shear valve stabilizer bracket. Q8:What do I do if my DoubleWall Sump gauge reads below 12" Hg (vacuum) or zero? FOR BRAVO-CERTIFIED CONTRACTORS/INSTALLERS ONLY: When your Bravo products arrive via freight, inspect all components for visible damage. If there is any, record the damage on the bill of lading in detail and call Bravo Systems with your damage report details. If the gauge appears to be damaged, call Bravo Systems to obtain replacements free of charge. You need to verify if the leak is happening at the gauge assembly or the sump. Common procedure is as follows: 1. Pressurize the interstice to no more than 4 PSI max 2. Submerge the entire Vacuum gauge assembly under water,such as a bucket or pail. Look for signs of air leaking. 3. Pressure/soap test each length of tubing and each test port at the surnp wall. 4. If these tests are inconclusive, leave the suspect sumps overnight under 20"Hg vacuum and observe gauges in the morning. http://www.sbravo.com/faq.htm
