LtCONTAINMENT <br />.4�!_ SOLUTIONS <br />A DENALI COMPANY <br />INSTALLATION OF <br />sEGROUND STEEL STORAGE TANKS <br />Aboveground Storage Tanks for Flammable and Combustible Liquids are manufactured and tested by <br />Containment Solutions, Inc. in accordance with the requirements of the Underwriter's Laboratories <br />Standard UL 142. <br />Proper installation is of utmost importance to ensure the expected service and life of the tank. In order <br />to validate the warranty, the following must be performed: <br />1. Handle tank carefully. Use cables or chains of adequate length (not more than 90 degrees between <br />the chains) attached to lifting lugs provided. Oversize hooks will tear the lift lugs --use shackles, if <br />necessary. <br />2. For compliance with model fire and building codes, the tank must be tested in the field before filling <br />or use. The inner tank should be pressurized with air to a maximum of 3 PSI. If the tank is a <br />doublewall tank, the inner tank should be pressurized to a maximum of 3 PSI, then the outer tank <br />should be pressurized to a maximum of 2 PSI. The test pressure should be held for one hour. While <br />the tank is holding pressure, brush a water and soap solution on the weld seams. <br />3. Be sure all drain plugs are secure by applying Teflon tape or pipe dope around plugs. <br />4. Do not cut or weld on any tank that contains flammable or combustible liquids, or vapors. Fire or an <br />explosion may result. <br />5. Model fire codes require the installation of emergency and normal vents on the top of the tank. <br />Consult with the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) and the fire codes for the proper <br />installation. <br />6. All installation of aboveground tanks must be approved and inspected by the local AHJ. Contact the <br />local AHJ for the required permits. <br />7 If a facility has an aboveground oil storage tank that has a capacity greater than 660 gallons, or if the <br />facility has aboveground oil storage tanks with a total capacity greater than 1,320 gallons, the facility <br />must have a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) plan. This plan is required by the <br />Code of Federal Regulations, Section 40 Part 112. Consult 40 CFR 112 for the required regulations. <br />Litho in U.S.A., Sept. 1998 Copyright 1998 Containment Solutions, Inc. - All Rights Reserved <br />Pub. No. LC 3503 <br />1 <br />
