Date: September 27, 2001, Revised February 6. 2006. To: To Whom It May Concern From: Don Mukai, P.E. Bravo Engineering Subject: Dispenser Containment Water Testing Procedures for Shallow Pans (B-2000) and Deep Sumps (B-8000)per California SBS 989 requirements. (Revised) To Whom It May Concern: According to California SBS(989)all secondary containment boxes are subject to a 36 month testing in accordance to section 2637.a.(2). The section states secondary containment testing systems installed on or after January 1,2001 shall be tested upon installation, 6 months after installation, and every 36 months thereafter. Prior to January 1,2001 shall be tested by January 1, S.Bravo 2003 and every 36 months thereafter. 2637.a.(2) Secondary containment systems shall be tested Systems, Inc. to test criteria no less stringent than those used at installation. Additionally, secondary containment systems shall be tested in accordance with manufacturer's guidelines or standards. 2929 Vail Avenue Commerce, Per SBS 989 Bravo's triennial testing procedures are as follows: CA 90040 1. Testing you must follow all C.C.R.California Code Regulations with in section 2637 and all 323-888-4133 local regulatory procedures prior to testing Bravo dispenser containment pans and sumps. Fax:323-888-4123 2. Next, per Bravo's standard maintenance installation instructions as stated on page 7 of the E-mail: B2000, shallow pan, installation instructions and page 6 of the B-8000, deep sump, follow a Info asbravo.com routine maintenance. This includes cleaning the interior of the secondary containment including debris, water, fuel and any other fluids. Ensure that all fittings/seals are tight Website: before water testing dispenser containment. hq://www.sbravo.com 3. Visually inspect box for obvious problems such as loose hose clamps, compression nuts or missing components before proceeding to test. 4. SHALLOW PAN:Place weight on the float approximately 1 pound or greater while the tester prepares for a water leakage test. See figure 7-A of installation instructions. Note: mark level of water test with grease marker as stated on installation instructions B2000 page 6 step 10 for the shallow pan for field installed fittings which states fill the box up to 1"above penetrations. 5. DEEP SUMP:The initial installation test procedures for Bravo deep dispenser sumps states on pg.4 first paragraphs shall be filled 2"above the penetration fittings as stated in installation instructions for the deep dispenser sumps. Exceptions under LG-160 allows for flexibility where secondary containment test performed there after are not feasible. Water testing above the penetration fitting is not feasible because of product liability of other manufacturer's products that may be damaged by water testing. Bravo will not require water testing above the penetration fitting after initial installation if there are other manufacturer's products below the penetration fitting. Rather,Bravo will require dispenser containment sumps with fully operational fail-safe sensors be water tested for integrity 4"from the bottom of the sump/under-dispenser box plus an additional volume necessary to accommodate leak sensor activation and product pump shut-down reaction time.
