Husky 70 Series, 1800 Series manual Direct Mount on Aboveground Tank

GASBOY Series 70 & 1820

Direct Mount on Aboveground Tank

Aboveground tanks require both a pressure/vacuum vent and an emergency vent. The pressure/vacuum vent reduces losses due to evaporation and is an air quality control measure. The emergency vent provides a relief from the pressure resulting from heating and boiling of the tank contents during a fire situation. Both vents must be properly sized for a given tank.

1.Screw 1" suction pipe into install-a-socket. Suction pipe should be long enough to allow 3" clearance from bottom of tank. Apply gasoline-resistant pipe compound to male threads.

2.Screw install-a-socket directly into 2" flange in the aboveground tank.

3.Lift the pump to the height of the tank and tighten it into the install-a-socket. Apply gasoline- resistant pipe compound on male thread. NOTE: If using an automatic nozzle with the extended nozzle hanger, you may need to use a 2" coupling and close nipple in between the pump and the install-a-socket. This will prevent interference of the hanger with the top of the tank.

See the Conduit section for correct installation of electrical conduit.

NOTE: Aboveground tanks, located at commercial, industrial, governmental, or manufacturing establishments and intended for fueling vehicles used with their business, cannot exceed a capacity of 6000 gallons.
