PAGE 05 -=30-OPW 69 SO OVERFILL PREVENTION VALVES The OP`N 61SO Overfill Prevention Valve is designed to prevent the overfill of underground storage tanks by providing a positive shut-off of product delivery,The shut-off valve is an integral part of the drop tube used for gravity filling.The OPtN 61 SO allows easy installation(without breaking concrete)and requires no special manholes. The OPW 61SO is a two-stage shut-off valve.When the liquid level rises to about 95%of tank capacity,the valve mechanism is released,closing automatically with the flow.This reduces the flow rate to approximately 5 gpm through a bypass valve. The operator may then stop the filling process and disconnect and drain the delivery hose.As long as the liquid exceeds the 95%level, the valve will close automatically each time delivery is attempted. If the delivery is not stopped and the liquid rises to about 98%of tank capacity, 'he bypass valve closes completely.No additional liquid can flow into the tank unto the level drops below a reset point. Models of the 61SO are available to meet virtually any UST application including two-point, coaxial,poppeted coaxial and remote fill.The 61SO-3000 provides two-point over ifl protection for 3"riser pipes,and the 61SO.1000 and 61SO-100C(CARB)feature a grooved-tube design for use with tank gauging systems. Methanol and CARS(vapor-tight)approved models are also available. The OPW 61SO is approved by the New York City Fire Department. (Approval#4902) IMPORTANT In order to prevent product spillage from the Underground Storage Tank(UST),properly maintained delivery equipment and a proper connection at the tight-fill adaptor are essential.Delivery personnel should be managed and trained to inspect delivery elbows and hoses for damaged and missing parts.They should always make certain there is a positive connection between the adaptor and elbow. If delivery equipment is not property maintained,or the elbow is not securely coupled to the adaptor,a serious spill may result when the OPW 61SO closes,causing a hazard and environmental contamination. III NOTE: The OPW 61SO is designed for use on tight-fill gravity drop applications only. Do not use for pressure fill applications. rM Features" ♦ Simple,Easy and Quick Installation- ♦ No Pressurization of The Tank- Certifications NY City Fire No excavation or special manholes Operates directly from liquid level. and Listings CARB Department required. •Will Accept a D Gauging.P fpstick for Gau 'n 61 so Series Initial Approval ♦Economical-Costs a fraction of ♦ Retrofits Directly-For both new and Certification $4902 expensive.Complicated and difficult existing tanks with 3"or 4"fill risers.
