Flexible entry boots have a com- posite construction of rubber and metal. A studded compression ring is molded into a boot which provides a means of fastening the boot to the containment sump wall using a compression ring and nut fastener to insure a waterproof seal. All entry boots are designed to provide universal flexibility for pipe or conduit providing up and down, side to side, back to front movement, as well as angled pipe entries. This flexibility is impor- tant for aligning pipe connections and providing stress relief. The standard boot design allows for angled pipe entries up to 15 degrees off the centerline and has no corrodible components exposed to the soil environment. All materials used are suitable for underground burial and are chemically compatible with all fuels. 1.1 Independent Testing All OPWLFCS double flexible entry boots in the DEB product series are listed with Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL®). The boots have been successfully tested to UL's standard testing procedure for petroleum transport accessories and are UL listed. These tests confirmed the compatibility of the specially formulated Rubber com- pound in typical ground environments as well as exposure to petro- leum and alcohol based fuels. 1.2 Positive Seal Flexible entry boots have been tested to withstand a minimum of 6' of liquid head pressure. These seals provide a studded flange connection to create a positive and secure seal where the rubber contacts the sump wall. Tightening a series of stud fasteners with a compression ring provides a very high com- pression seal compared to screw on type bulkhead seals. 1.3 Corrosion Resistance The exterior studded compression ring which provides the sealing pres- sure is encapsulated within rubber to protect it from corrosion. (more than `";, an 1/8" of rubber isolates this metallic '� studded ring from the ground envi- ronment). The inside compression ring is made from corrosion resistant steel. All studs are made of 401 stainless steel and are only exposed on the inside of the containment sump.
