Phil-Tite Installation and Maintenance Manual, Page 26 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS The Phil -rite 61 SO -PT Overfill Prevention Valve is designed for tight fill, gravity drop applications to help prevent accidental or intentional overfilling of underground storage tanks. It is installed in the UST drop tube in place of a standard drop tube. The main 61 SO -PT valve closes when liquid level is at 95% of the top of the tank. A small bypass valve remains open to allow the delivery hose to drain at 3-5 gallons per minute. If the delivery truck valve is not closed after initial shut-off, the bypass valve will close and will restrict all fuel delivery. The 61 SO -PT models of the 61 SO -PT are designed to be installed with a PHIL-TITE Spill Container and PHIL-TITE M/F 4 X 4 adaptor. IMPORTANT Read these assembly and installation instructions completely and carefully prior to starting. Check to make sure all parts have been provided. Use only the parts supplied; substitution of parts may cause product failure. Normal Operation: A Hose "lick" and reduced flow signal that the tank is full. Close transport delivery valve and drain hose into tank before disconnecting any hose fitting. Overfilled Tank: Failure of the hose to drain after closing the delivery valve signals an overfilled tank. Do Not Disconnect any delivery hose fitting until the liquid level in the tank has been lowered to allow the hose to drain into the tank. Attention: In the event you are splashed, remove all wetted clothing immediately. Do not go into an enclosed area and stay away from ignition sources. IMPORTANT Determine if the underground storage tank is equipped with a ball float vent valve as illustrated in Figure 16. In all systems, the shut- off point of the 61SO-PT must be reached before the ball float reduces flow to ensure proper overfill valve operation. TOOLS NEEDED FOR INSTALLATION AND Failure to follow instructions may cause improper ASSEMBLY: product operation or premature failure which may 1. Tape measure permit storage tank overfill. An overfilled storage 2. Hacksaw or cut-off saw, fine tooth; 24 teeth/inch tank may create hazardous conditions and/or 3. Fine half round file environmental contamination. 4. PHIL-TITE Flaring tool 5. Two-part sealant (supplied) (JB Weld 8276) CAUTION Do not remove elastic band from around float until instructed to do so, as damage to valve may result. WARNING Failure to properly connect delivery hose and elbow, and/or disconnecting a liquid filled delivery hose or elbow will result in a hazardous spill, which may result in personal injury, property damage, fire, explosion, and water and soil pollution. • Make sure all connections, including the hose and elbow connections, between storage tank and transport are securely coupled. • Make sure the lip seal and/or all gaskets in the delivery elbow are properly in place to prevent spills. • Do not operate with damaged or missing parts, which prevent tight connections. WARNING Using electrically operated equipment near gasoline or gasoline vapors may result in fire or explosion, causing personal injury and property damage. Check to assure the working area is free from such hazards, and always use proper precautions. Important: The figures in this installation and maintenance instruction may contain vapor recovery equipment (including model number) that is not certified by the California Air Resources Board (ARB) for a specific Phase 1 Vapor Recovery System. Please refer to Exhibit 1 of the appropriate ARB Phase I Executive Order for a list of certified Phase I Vapor Recovery System Equipment HOW TO LOCATE THE POSITION OF THE Phil -Tito 61SO-PT (61 -SO -PT) AT 95% TANK CAPACITY The length of the upper tube and the placement of the 61 SO -PT valve body determine the shut-off point.
