Appendix C (continued) <br />71 SO Overfill Valve in Tank Complete 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 />Distance from the 71 SO inlet tube flange to the top and <br />bottom of lower tube, valve length. <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") <br />(B) _ <br />From the tank calibration chart provided by tank manu- <br />facturer find the dipstick number (Y) which corresponds <br />to the 100% volume. <br />1. To determine complete shut-off percentage: <br />Subtract upper tube length (D) from distance to tank <br />bottom (B) <br />(X)=(B)-(D)+1.5"= <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 />= <br />(Y) tank capacity in gallons <br />= <br />Complete SO% _ (X) capacity / (Y) capacity x100 = <br />0 <br />(D) <br />Upper <br />Tube <br />(W) Valve <br />Length, <br />bottom <br />of cut <br />(B) <br />To Tank <br />(Y) <br />Tank <br />(U) Valve Chart <br />Length, 100% <br />top of Volume <br />Dipstick <br />Note: The overfill valve must be installed per AHJ re- <br />quirementsand all applicable local, state, and national <br />codes. If the overfill valve is set above the allowable <br />shut-off percentage the overfill valve must be removed <br />and replaced. <br />Note: This Appendix only applies to valves installed per Appendix C.
