Connecting Vapor Return Line to Vapor Shear Valve
Do not create any liquid traps when connecting the vapor return line to the Vapor Line Shear
Valv e ( se e Figure 5-12). A liquid trap is a low spot in
the vapor return line that can accumulate
fuel and cause blockage, which can cause
a system to fail vapor recovery certification tests or
create operation issues with vapor balance nozzles.
Notes: 1) The contractor must provide and install the pipe
union for connecting to the 1-inch
NPT coupling in the unit.
2) Follow the Vapor Line Shear Valve’s manuf
acturer information regarding mounting
of the shear valve to the unit.
