What’s Wrong Solenoid Location

August 21, 2017

The solenoid valve (green round object at 9 o'clock above blue pipe) prevents the automatic line leak detector from looking for a 3 GPH leak from itself up to the dispenser. It can only find a leak between itself and the solenoid, all of an inch or two of product pipe. It was installed to prevent anti-siphoning (dispenser lower than ALLD) but all it's really good for is a red tag since the line downstream of the solenoid is no longer monitored for leaks.
