• Piping and fittings
• Fuel storage tanks
• Pressure regulating valves (aboveground tanks only)
• STP - dispensers only
• Tank and/or line leak detectors
•Pit boxes
• Components must be compatible with the fluid being dispensed. C
onsult the manufacturer
for information.
Notes: 1) If you are replacing an existing unit, the installer may connect and extend the
existi
ng field wires to the electronics cabinet using an explosion proof Junction Box
(J-box). For details, refer to “Verifying and Determining Plumbing Requirements”.
2) A shear valve is a safety device required
for every product line at each dispenser.
Shear valves may also be required for aboveground tank installations and other
installations with pumps. Follow local and state requirements.
3) Some locations require she
ar valves for vapor lines. Follow local and state
regulation.
5 Inspect the pump/dispenser cartons and contents for shipping damage. Gilbarco does not cover
shipping damage under its warranty policy. Notify the shipper of any damage.
6 Remove the lower panels (doors) of the pump/dispenser.
7 Ensure that the fuel grade for product lines matches the pump/dispenser brand panels and the
foundation layout. Product lines from the island pit box must have labels.
Gaining Access to and from Latitude Cabinet
Latitude cabinets are designed to protect the equipment inside the unit from the elements. The
doors and covers must be installed as directed. For more information, refer to MDE-5422
Latitude Owner’s Manual and MDE-5445 Latitude Service Manual provided by the ASCs
during commissioning.
Verifying and Determining Plumbing Requirements
Before placing a unit on an island, determine the correct location of piping for the unit
involved and the proper orientation of the unit. A common installation error is to install the
units backwards, which will require expensive modifications. This section contains
information regarding plumbing requirements for various models of Latitude dispensers.
Do not make assumptions about configurations based on previous experience, hose
positions, or layout of the unit that you are replacing, whether it is a Gilbarco unit or that
of any other manufacturer.
