Appendix B <br /> 71 SO Overfill Valve in Tank Initial Shut off Level Worksheet <br /> Important: This is meant to be supplemental worksheet and not a substitute to following the installation <br /> manual instructions. All length measurements are in inches. Please contact the Authority Having Jurisdic- <br /> tion (AHJ)and review local,state,and national codes to determine the regulatory requirements governing <br /> shut-off capacity in your region,as well as take into account other considerations such as extreme tank tilt. <br /> Take the following measurements with the valve in- <br /> stalled in the tank: _____ <br /> Distance from the 71 SO inlet tube flange to the cast <br /> lug in the 71 SO body(see figures),upper tube length. <br /> Note: the Upper Tube Length must be at least 16"to in- <br /> clude the protective bend in the tube. <br /> (D)= o <br /> Distance from the 71 SO inlet tube flange to the top and <br /> bottom of lower tube,valve length. (D) <br /> (W)- Upper <br /> (U)= Tube <br /> Distance from the 71 SO inlet tube flange to the bottom <br /> of the tank. Note:If a tank bottom protector is present it <br /> may be necessary to add this thickness to dimension <br /> (OPW 6111 &61 TP models add 0.6") (W)Valve <br /> (B)= Length, <br /> bottom of '1 <br /> From the tank calibration chart provided by tank manu- cut <br /> facturer find the dipstick number(Y)which corresponds <br /> to the 100%volume. (B) <br /> (Y)= To Tank <br /> (Y) <br /> 1. To determine shut-off percentage: Tank <br /> Subtract upper tube length (D)from distance to tank (U)Valve Chart <br /> bottom (B) Length, 100% j <br /> (X)= (B)-(D)-2"= top of cut Volume Ij <br /> Dipstick j <br /> Using the tank calibration chart provided by the tank <br /> manufacturer determine the tank capacity at the cal- <br /> culated (X) dimension and the 100%volume(Y)tank <br /> capacity. ;? <br /> (X)tank capacity in gallons= <br /> (Y)tank capacity in gallons= <br /> .� <br /> SO%=(X)capacity/(Y)capacity x100= <br /> Note: The overfill valve must be installed per AM require- <br /> ments and all applicable local,state,and national codes. If <br /> the overfill valve is set above the allowable shut-off percent- <br /> age the overfill valve must be removed and replaced. For <br /> reference 40 CFR part 280 Subpart B Section 280.20 overfill <br /> valves should be set to a maximum of 95%. <br /> 21 <br />
