Always use the provided adjustable cross brace to secure plumbing in the dispenser, or the
shear valve may not operate properly during a vehicle collision.
The cross brace is not an optional feature!
Also, use of non-rigid piping materials such as field-bendable tubing to connect to the inlet may
also result in the shear valve not operating properly during a collision.
Use of black iron pipe inside the dispenser is required for fuel lines at the outlet of the
shear valves.
WARNING
After the sealant has been properly applied, tighten the connection to 130 foot-pounds.
4
Do not use pry (crow) bar to position pump/dispenser over conduit or pipes. This could
damage valves, conduit, or other parts of the unit.
CAUTION
Loosely connect the union halves together.
5 Double-check the alignment of the frame, conduit, and pipes. Secure the piping to the safety
brace using U-bolts or pipe clamps that are supplied by the contractor.
Note: Misaligned piping can result in a leak.
For Latitude units, do not permanently remove the strainer under any circumstances to
accommodate the shear valves from certain manufacturer’s that may not properly position the
shear section of the valve as shown in Figure 5-10 on page 5-15.
Use Gilbarco or equivalent shear valve to ensure proper positioning of the shear section of the
shear valve.
Failure to use the strainer could result in failure of the valves or meters, void warranty, and
create a safety hazard with an improperly operating valve.
