STEP 20: PREPARE FILL RISER FOR VALVE INSERTION IMPORTANT: Inspect the riser pipe for any foreign ma- terial . Over spray from tank relining or any internal 44 burrs inside of pipe must be removed prior to installa- tion. Failure to have an unobstructed riser pipe may prevent proper installation or operation of the valve. Thoroughly clean top of riser pipe. STEP 21 : REMOVE ELASTIC BAND Remove the elastic band securing the float to the valve body. The float will move into an outward position. STEP 22 : INSERT DROP TUBE Make sure the upper O-Ring gasket is under the flange of the inlet tube. Hold the float down against the valve body and slowly insert the drop tube overfill valve into the riser pipe. Do not force valve into the riser pipe.

The valve must remain aligned along the length of the tank as in Step 23 . Repeat this step as necessary to assure proper valve alignment. 14
