®
supplies a Latitude compatible double poppet shear valve with a union top
(OPW part # 10RUP-2006).
3) It is a mandatory code requirement that the
shear section of the shear valve be within
±3/4-inches (or to shear valve manufacturer’s requirement, whichever is tighter)
from the plane of the bottom of the base of a dispenser. Not all shear valve styles
allow the maintenance of this tolerance for Latitude units. A N23047 single poppet
male top Morrison 2 X 2 636M-0200AV or a code-approved equivalent shear valve
meets the code requirements. Do not modify the dispenser plumbing (for example,
remove the strainer housing) to accommodate other model valves, or install units
such that the shear groove of the shear valve is not within ± 3/4 inches of the base
plane of the dispenser. Use a Check Valve (N23274) between the union and strainer
housing to ensure that the shear section is properly located.
6 Tighten the union halves together.
7 Tighten the anchor bolts at this time. Verify if the shear valves are properly tightened to the pit
box or shear valve anchor bracket, as required. If removed earlier, reinstall the vertical cabinet
brace in the lower hydraulic cabinet.
