Listed Jacketed tank providing corrosion protection and 360° secondary containment per U.L. 1746 and 58. ELUTRON® underground tanks must be installed according to these installation instructions, the latest issue of the Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code, N.F.P.A• 30 for underground tanks and the authority having jurisdiction. The installer and/or owner must read and be familiar with the entire installation instructions and Appendix A prior to installing the ELUTRON® tattle To activate the PLASTEELm ELUTRON®Tank Warranty, a completed and signed Certificate of Installation for the PLASTEEL°' ELUTRON® Underground Tank must be returned to the manufacturer. For additional installation references, consult the current editions of - Pctroleum Equipment Institute, RP -100 - American Petroleum Institute, RP -1615. INSPECTION11. VISUAL Prior to setting tank in hole, inspect exterior for damage. If tank exterior is damaged, call factory regarding correct repair procedures. Exterior damage is indicated when the blue color of the FRF laminate has shown a white fractured pattern. Ill. HANDLING Good construction engineering practice, common sense and safety mast ,prevail during this phase. ELUTION" tanks are not to be dropped or rolled off of the delivery vehicle onto the ground or into the hole_ The lifting hook or hooks provided must be used in combi- nation with the proper capacity unloading equipment. It is the responsibility of the owner to provide the qualified personnel and safe, proper unloading equipment, with specific consideration given to tank weight and reach distance, to set tank in excavation. The preferred lining cable included angle is 60° and must never exceed 1200. A spreader bar may be used to achieve this angle. IV. EXCAVATION I3EPTH EOOINI. ANO BACiZFILL Follow all applicable local regulations and codes. When excavating, allow a minimum clearance of 6" for backfill around the ta:tk. For minimum burial cover, consult N.FP.A. 30. If burial cover over top of tank exceeds five (5) feet. consult factory. Backfill materials should be clean, debris free, sand or pea gravel. Hydrocarbon- exposed sand or pea gravel may be re -used if approved by the AHJ. Native sand may be used if approved by the tank manu- facturer and the. AHJ, Allow a minimum of 12" of backfill between traffic slab and all appurtenances that are attached to the tank. Damage to tank may occur if surface traffic loads are transmitted directly to tank. CAUTION: The decision to use an anchoring system is the responsibility of the owner, Damage to the tank may occur if the tank is subjected to movement. Consult the factory for number, size and type of holddown assemblies required when using a concrete pad under the tank, You fa 005 t1 Double—Wall Tank may set and sc ly anchor the ELUTRON® tank on the pad with a minimum If 6" of backfill between tank bottom centerline and the pad. Upo local implementing agency Approval, you may set and securely anchor the ELUTRON® tank directly an the smooth, flat pad taking care to place a 12" wide x 1" thick piece of felt between the entire tank bottom centerline and the pad to minimize damage during placement. Consult factory for other anchoring techniq�es. VI. TESTING PRE•INSTAIiIATION: Aboveground, prior to replacement of tank in cxeavatior9, precisely follow one of the three testing options cited in AppendixA attached. Do not deviate from these procedures. If the ELUTROW tank is delivered with a vacuum on the interstice, refer to Option #2 of Appendix A. CAUTION: IF OPTION #3 IS USED, DO NOT APPLY ANY P SURE TO THE INTERSTICE IlEF012>~ THOROUGHLY UNDERSTANDING AND FAIM- FULLY FOLLOWING TIE PROCEDURES CITED IN OPTION 43 OF APPENDIX A. DAMAGE TO T K MAY OCCUR IF YOU DEVIATE FROM THE PROCEDURES AND SPECIFICATIONS. POST:INSTATION: Complete the backfill procedures to the top of the tarp Complete all piping and connections ensuring that unused openings are secured tight with threaded steel plugs. Apply a 5 PSIG pressure test in the primary tank and check for tight- ness of piping connections and tank manhole covers. Gauge should be checked prior to testing for accuracy and have a maximum limit of 15 PSIG. CAUTION: 'T F- PRIMARY TANK TEST PRESSURE SHALL N6T EXCEED 5 PSIG. DAMAGE TO TANK MAY OCCUR. ISOLATE PIPING FROM TANK BEFORE TESTING THE PIPING AT HIGHER The interstice Jannular space) will be tested using option #2 or #3 in Appendix A. OPTION: See Appendix'B for procedures to perform the Interstitial Vacuum Test that has been third parry evaluated to meet the EPA tank tightness test The PRIMAY (inner) tank must always be vented to atmosphere. Th interstitial space does not require venting. However, local codes may require such interstitial venting. Comply with N.F.P.A. 30. CAUTION: DO NOT MANIFOLD VENT FROM PRIMARY T I K TO VENT FROM INTERSTITIAL SPACE. VIII. PLASTEEL0SEALING PROCEDURES new prooedtires must be performed prior to completion of backfill and AFTER TESTING- To ensure complete corrosion pro- tcotion, the folio ging instructions must be followed: a.
