o The 71 SO utilizes Polypak seals, blind holes with special taptite screws and a straight threaded joint with a diametric o-ring to help eliminate potential leak passages "By equipping the 71 SO with new features such as Polypak seals and straight threaded joints with an "O" ring seal, we effectively eliminated the need for epoxy sealants during the installation phase while improving vaportight reliability," stated Jim Walton, Vice president & General Manager, OPW Environmental Systems. "There are multiple points of value derived from this feature such as faster, cleaner and more reliable installation and performance. No mess, no curing time and hassles, and no fugitive emissions or pressure decay failures. This is a win/win for the contractor and the station owner in terms of lower costs, compliance assurance, and quicker uptime. These are key advantages over other valves, including our own 61 SO which is currently considered the industry standard." The 71 SO, like its predecessor the 61 SO, delivers superior high performance such as: • The fastest flow rates in the industry • Exceeding enhanced vapor recovery (EVR) requirements (maximum vapor leak rate of 0.17 CFH@2" H2O on 4-inch models). Like the 61 SO, the new 71 SO is a two-stage shut-off valve, providing: • Completely automatically operation o No pre-checks to perform, no resets, and no overrides to be broken or abused. o When the liquid level rises to 95% of the tank capacity, the valve mechanism is released, closing automatically with the flow. o A special by-pass valve allows for hose draining to a maximum tank capacity of approximately 98%. Above 98%, the bypass valve closes completely, ensuring that no additional liquid can flow into the tank until the level drops below a predefined reset point. The new OPW 71 SO is available for direct-bury and remote fill applications.
