Anchoring Pump/Dispenser to Island
WARNING
Improper anchoring of units could cause damage, severe injury, or death resulting from the
unit tipping over from the impact or drive-off.
Securely install anchor bolts at all anchoring locations as shown on foundation diagrams for
safe operation of shear valves and hose breakaways.
Note: Pumps do not normally require shear valves. The following procedure for a pump is
identical to that of a dispenser, except that the shear valve may not be used.
To anchor pumps/dispensers to the island, proceed as follows:
1 Verify if the shear valves are firmly anchored to the island form [concrete or pit box
(see Figure 5-13)].
Note: If the shear valve is not anchored properly
, it may not operate correctly during a severe
impact. Follow the shear valve manufacturer’s instructions.

2 Loosely anchor the pump/dispenser to the island according to the foundation layout locations,
using all the required anchoring points as follows:
• Use 1/2-inch anchor studs with heavy duty large washers (slot des
igned for that size).
• Use bolts or studs that are of 5-grade steel.
• Use hardware that is corrosion-pr
otected or resistant.
Note: Do not use plastic, low strength, or pallet bolts.
• Studs/bolts must be securely anchored to the island or pit box (see
Figure 5-14).
• For additional important informat
ion, refer to the anchor or pit box manufacturer’s
instructions.
