Due to the nature of how drop tubes must be shipped, the shipping variable is inconsistent based on several factors. Please call 800-515-2580 to confirm shipping charges if you are not picking up the order as additional freight charges will be incurred. The additional freight charge above what is calculated on the webstore will be added to your Seneca invoice.
The CARB-certified OPW 71SO vapor-tight 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 71SO allows easy installation (without breaking concrete) and requires no special manholes.
The OPW 71SO is a vapor-tight 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, the bypass valve closes completely. No additional liquid can flow into the tank until the level drops below a reset point. Valve Body: Cast aluminum
Float: Nitrile rubber, close cell foam
