OPW - 61SO - Overfill Prevention Valves

The OPW 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 OPW 61SO allows easy installation (without breaking concrete) and requires no special manholes.

Features

  • Simple, Easy, Quick Installation - No excavation or special manholes required.
  • Economical - Costs a fraction of expensive, complicated and difficult to install valves.
  • Furnished Complete - Supplied with new upper and lower drop tubes, mounting hardware and thorough instructions for a quick job site time.
  • Completely Automatic Operation - No pre-checks to perform, no resets, and no overrides to be broken or abused.
  • No Pressurization of the Tank - Operates directly from liquid level.
  • Will Accept a Dipstick for Gauging.
  • Retrofits directly - For both new and existing tanks with 3" or 4" fill risers.
  • Quick Drain Feature - Automatically drains hose when head pressure is relieved.
  • Best Flow Rate in The Industry.*

*Test-witnessed by Bowser-Morner, Inc., an independent laboratory. Results available upon request.

Advantages of Overfill Prevention Compared to Overfill Warning System

  • Completely Automatic Operation - Does not rely on the alertness or speed of response of the delivery attendant for certainty of overfill prevention.
  • Keeps the Top of UST “Dry,” per EPA Requirements - Eliminating possible leaks at loose bung fittings and the need for double containment on vent lines.
  • Does Not Rely on Pressure in the UST to Stop Flow - Allowing faster fill times and reducing spill risk.
  • Speeds Delivery Operations - Product flows unimpeded into the tank until the hose “kick” that accompanies the valve shut-off provides a clear signal that the liquid has reached the shut-off level.
  • Simple and Inexpensive Installation - In both two-point and coaxial fill applications, no additional excavation, manholes or vent piping are required.

The OPW 61SOR is designed for two-point remote-fill applications, where the fill point is not directly over the UST. The valve is installed in the tank through a riser pipe directly over the tank. A window in the drop tube is aligned with the entrance of the fill pipe from the remote-fill location to allow product to flow into the drop tube and down through the valve. A riser seal prevents product from flowing into the tank from outside the drop tube. A "trap door" assembly installed in the riser above the tank provides access for a gauging stick. Trap door, adaptor and cap included with 61SOR.

The OPW 61SO Two-Point is used for two-point fill applications, tanks equipped with separate product and vapor return connections. The OPW 61SO replaces the standard fill drop tube in a 4 in. fill riser pipe. The 61SOM models are specially designed for compatibility with M-85 and M-100 methanol fuels and Ethanol (E85).

The OPW 61SOC is used for coaxial fill applications, tanks equipped with a single product/vapor return connection. The 61SOC replaces the standard coaxial fill drop tube in a 4 in. riser fill pipe.
