Whats Wrong Dispenser
Look closely at piping....
You'll notice the product piping coming into the dispenser is not stainless steel or FRP but rubber. Plus the shear valves are not anchored. If a vehicle were to strike the dispenser and knock it over, both failing shear valve and non-standard piping could lead to a major accident like a fire.
Flex hoses above fire valve, shear sections will not shear on impact
Yes to both!
What dimension/diameter is that flex piping? Almost looks like rubber and not steel flex. Is it resting on a shear valve too? Got 3 meters, three pipes – jerryrigged newer dispensers on old piping locatons. Should have moved the piping and used fixed piping to reconnect the new dispensers.
Wow, kind of circumvented the use of the impact shear valve ever doing its job.
The use of a hydraulic hose in lieu of hard piping was most certainly easier, but not the correct product for the application.
Exactly. Thanks Steve.
No shear valves.
Share valve is there, just not anchored. Plus check out the rubber hose for product.
And rubber hoses.
Rubber hoses
Yes, plus the un-anchored shear valve,
And shear valve not anchored.
Shear valves not anchored
Rubber Hoses not appropriate or approved for the crossovers
Hose diameter would severely limit flow rates and make shear valves pointless
An inspector should close this
Piping is not rigid. Shear valves would have a difficult time activating if dispenser was struck.
Hi James. Yes, exactly.
Yes and yes.
Las tuberías después de las válvulas shut-off, no son rígidas y dichas válvulas no estan fírmemente sujetas al basamento de la isla.
Gracias hector Me encanta recibir comentarios en español. Y sí, la válvula de corte y la cubierta de goma son un gran problema.
