4 Slowly pour the fluid compound until it fills the bottom of the Close-up plug threads.
Note: Be careful to pour slowly, to avoid
trapping air bubbles in the seal.
5 Immediately wipe off any spilled compound and close the seal with a close-up plug.
Note: Initial setting of the sealing compound will occur
within 30 minutes. Compound requires
a minimum of eight hours above 32 °F (0 °C) to develop sufficient strength to withstand
explosion pressures.

Pipe Installation
For Installation of underground liquid storage systems (Chapter 9), refer to Petroleum
Equipment Institute (PEI) publication RP100 Recommended Practices and for installation of
above-ground storage systems for motor vehicle fueling, refer to PEI publication RP200
Recommended Practices.
Product inlet pipes and vapor pipes for Gilbarco pumps/dispensers vary in location between
mod
els. The product piping order differs from blenders to previous Advantage Series models.
See model-specific footprint before installing pipes.
• Check national, state, and local
regulations for installation of the pipe system.
• Use containment system as required by national, state, and local regulations
.
Note: Some local regulatory agencies do not allo
w the use of a galvanized piping
component when diesel is involved. Consult local regulators. Also, galvanized
piping is not usable for certain Alternative fuels, such as E25 and E85 or Biodiesel.
Gilbarco supplies galvanized Tubing (not pipe). However, no zinc or galvanizing is
present on the inner circumference of any tubing or piping supplied by Gilbarco.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• Use 1-1/2-inches pipe for riser-to-pump or dispenser.
• Alternative fuels such as E25 and
E85 may require special piping materials or
components. Consult the manufacturer to determine whether the piping material is
compatible with the fluid being used.
• Use 2-inches risers on Latitude units which use a 2-inches shear
valve.
• Leak detectors may not detect leaks reliably in pl
umbing between master and satellite
Latitude units. Secondary containment and likely specialized leak detection equipment is
required. Consult codes.
