TESTINSTRUCTIONS <br />POPPET & FLOAT MOVEMENT <br />FOR TESTABLE MODELS ONLY <br />TOOLS NEEDED FOR TESTING: <br />1. 1/4" square drive extension or 3/8" square drive ex- <br />tension with 3/8" to 1/4" socket adapter. <br />2. Torque wrench/ 1/4" or 3/8" square drive ratchet <br />wrench. <br />3. Pipe dope. <br />4. Flashlight (optional). <br />TEST STEP 1: <br />Remove spill container cover and fill cap from fill adapt- <br />er and look down into the tube and make sure no debris <br />or foreign objects are present. If debris or foreign ob- <br />jects are present take appropriate steps before proceed- <br />ing. Look down into the tube and ensure poppet is <br />completely protected by the deflection shield. See Test <br />Figure 1. If poppet is exposed and tank is not full the <br />overfill valve should be replaced. A flashlight may help <br />when inspecting the tube. <br />TEST STEP 2: <br />Unthread the socket adaptor assembly from the inlet <br />tube using a 1/4" square drive extension and wrench. <br />The extension will attach to the socket adaptor. Secure <br />all tools to ensure they don't fall into the tank or valve. <br />With the extension still attached pull on the socket <br />adaptor and cable assembly and ensure float and pop- <br />pet move /function properly. It should only require 3" <br />to 4" of movement and less than 5 lbs of force in order <br />to actuate the float and poppet. When looking down <br />into the upper tube ensure poppet is visible and moves <br />into the flow path (see Test Figure 1 & 2) when socket <br />adaptor is pulled and resets properly when socket adap- <br />tor is released. If poppet does not actuate freely take <br />appropriate steps to correct. <br />TEST STEP 3: <br />Apply pipe dope to the socket adaptor threads. Pipe <br />dope should be anon -hardening gasoline resistant pipe <br />thread seal compound. Make sure poppet and float <br />have reset properly and are not visible then install sock- <br />et adaptor and torque to 3.5 ft -lbs (42 in -lbs) minimum <br />to 5.0 ft -lbs (60 indbs) maximum. After installing socket <br />adaptor, to ensure vapor tightness, OPW recommends <br />conducting pressure testing per CARB TP201.1 D. Some <br />areas may require pressure testing of overfill valve per <br />CARB TP201.1 D to ensure valve is vapor tight. If the <br />drop tube fails pressure testing it may be necessary to <br />check the seal at the poppet adaptor threads. Reinstall <br />fill cap and spill container cover after testing. <br />Socket <br />adaptor <br />Open Poppet <br />Test Figure 1 <br />Opp <br />Pol <br />Closed Poppet <br />Pull on extension and <br />socket adaptor <br />Test Figure 2 <br />'s <br />17 <br />
