3.4 Hose and Accessories Installation
3.4.1 General
Hose assemblies should be U.L. Listed and installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Install the hose assembly after the dispenser is installed.
o To ensure a proper joint, wash all cutting oil off the threads and use a U.L. Listed
gasoline-resistant pipe joint sealing compound.
o Place the compound on male threads only; be careful not to get any excess compound
on the inside of the fittings.
o Install the fixed end of the hose to the dispenser outlet; secure according to the
instructions of the sealing compound and hose manufacturer.
o Install the nozzle, and other hose accessories – swivels, breakaways, etc. – on the hose
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
NOTE: Do not use the joint sealant compound on balanced vapor recovery
accessories. Reference the manufacturer’s instructions.
NFPA code requires a Listed emergency breakaway device, designed to retain liquid on
both sides of the breakaway point, to be installed on each hose. These devices must be
installed and maintained per the manufacturer’s instructions. Refer to your state and local
codes for breakaway device requirements that apply to your installation.
NOTE: Models with “E” prefix, for dispensing up to and including E85, must use only the
following hose and accessories. All connections for these devices must use UL
Classified Saf-T-Lok Teflon pipe sealant:
OPW hose nozzle valves models: 21GE, 21GEA
OPW breakaway model: OPW 66V-0492
OPW swivel connector model: 241TPS-0492
Veyance Technologies hose assembly model: Flexsteel Futura Ethan-All
Use only UL Listed hoses, nozzles, breakaways, and other hose accessories. Continuity must
be present between the dispenser outlet and nozzle spout to prevent static discharge while
fueling. Continuity must be checked for the outlet/hose assembly to insure that the nozzle is
grounded. Failure to do so may result in a hazardous condition that could cause serious injury
or death.
3.4.2 Balance Vapor Recovery
The nozzle hook/boot assembly can accommodate an Emco Wheaton A4015 Short Spout or
a Husky V Short Spout nozzle without modification.
The vapor recovery installation should follow the instructions supplied by the manufacturer
for the vapor recovery components and should comply with all codes, both local and
national.
The discharge elbow can be oriented upwards for piping to an overhead splitter.
