CDO F=WVV. - ► <br /> DATE: July 05, 2007 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE <br /> CONTACT: Kelly Klodell, Marketing Services <br /> (513) 870-3134 <br /> New Next Generation CARB Certified Overfill <br /> Prevention Valve by OPW Requires No Epoxy <br /> Sealants. Eliminates Curing Time and Hassles. <br /> Speeds Installation. <br /> CINCINNATI, OHIO —OPW Fueling Components, the global leader \ <br /> in commercial and retail fueling equipment, announced today that its <br /> innovative, next generation overfill prevention valve, the OPW 71 SO <br /> Vaportight Overfill Prevention Valve received Phase I Vapor Recovery <br /> System certification (VR-102-H) from the California Air Resources <br /> Board (CARB) on May 24, 2007. Designed to prevent the overfill of <br /> underground storage tanks by providing a positive shut-off of product <br /> delivery, the new 71 SO: <br /> ■ Reduces installation time and costs by eliminating the <br /> need for messy and time consuming epoxy sealants <br /> ■ Eliminates curing hassles during hot and cold weather <br /> conditions <br /> ■ Provides a higher level of protection against the release <br /> of fugitive emissions and pressure decay failures <br /> "The 71 SO is the end result of listening to our customers' needs," said Aldo Sucaldito, <br /> Product Manager, OPW Environmental Systems, adding, "Our customers said they <br /> wanted a vaportight overfill valve that didn't require epoxy sealants. We responded with <br /> the new OPW 71 SO. Key, patented design features make this a true next-generation <br /> piece of critical equipment at the fueling site. This valve requires no epoxy sealants, so <br /> there's no mess or curing hassles, and best of all, the installation is easier and quicker, <br /> and more reliable and cost effective than any other valve." <br /> • The Vaportight 71SO is the only overfill valve in the industry that requires <br /> no epoxy sealant for installation <br /> o Curing time and hassles associated with hot and cold weather conditions <br /> are eliminated to reduce installation time by one day. Contractors are not <br /> required to return the next day to install and test the valves. <br /> o EVR compliance is assured with no time-consuming, expensive return <br /> visits to re-epoxy the valve <br /> • The special patented design of the 71 SO enables improved EVR <br /> compliance by eliminating 10 of 17 potential vapor leak passages <br /> o Typical overfill valves may have as many as 17 to 25 potential vapor leak <br /> passages <br />
