. , 5. Apply a non -hardening, UL classified, gasoline -resistant pipe sealing compound to the riser pipe threads. rj�t-WARNING IFailure to use a proper thread sealing compound could result in a lack of seal where the riser threads into the tank opening, making it impossible to perform a tank -tightness test. This may also create a potential site for fuel to leak into the environment and/or the containment sump. Slide riser over the PMA and tighten into manifold threads. Maximum riser size is found by taking the grade to tank mounting thread measurement and subtracting the manifold height and clearance (6" clearance recommended). Example: Grade to tank mounting threads (bury depth) 48" Minus manifold height without leak detector -11" (w/leak detector height = 12.50) Minus 6" for top clearance -6 (2" minimum) = Maximum riser size 31" Length Setting 6. Cut wire tie(s) securing the conduit wire at the top of the pump; lay the wires out above the pump head so that wires can feed through conduit freely when setting length. WARNING Failure to cut wire ties prior to setting pump length could result in damage to electrical conduit wires, presenting a risk of lethal electrical shock or equipment failure. 7 a.) Measure from the bottom of the tank to the top of tank mounting threads. Subtract the distance for clearance between the PMA and the bottom of the tank (6" recommended). This is the length the pump should be extracted to, from the bottom of the riser threads to the bottom of the motor end bell. Note: 6" clearance provides a 5" clearance from the pump motor end bell to the bottom of the tank. Example: Tank + thread measurement 96" distance from bottom (5") + riser thread engagement (1") -6" = Length (bottom of riser to end bell) 90" F v Riser material required for pump is 4.5" outside diameter with a .188" wall. Minimum riser length supplied by FE Petro is 7". STEP 6. STEP 7a.) V
