Appendix C HOW TO LOCATE THE POSITION OF THE 71 SO FOR COMPLETE SHUT-OFF AT A GIVEN TANK CAPACITY Note: This Appendix only applies when AHJ require- EXAMPLE ments call for complete shut-off at a given tank capacity. 1 .

In all cases, the upper tube length must be a Tape measure minimum of 6- 1 /2" plus the length of the riser pipe . All length measurements are in inches . INSTRUCTIONS 1 .
