Specification/Guidelines
To determine the approximate number of L-SS1900 or L-SS1575 units required, use control factors of 13.5 or 9.5 respectively; simply divide the US gallon requirement by the recommended control factor.
For example, a 1,000 US gallon tank would require approximately:
L-SS1900 - 74 units (1,000 / 13.5); or L-SS1575 - 105 units (1,000 / 9.5).
Alternatively, this option may be used in a 16" manway where:
1. A percentage of L-SS1900 units are assembled inside the tank; and
2. The remaining percentage of L-SS1575 units are assembled outside and simply placed through the 16" manway.
For example, using 90% L-SS1900 and 10% L-SS1575, a 1,000 US gallon tank would require approximately:
L-SS1900 - 67 units ((1,000 * 90%) / 13.5); and
L-SS1575 - 10 units ((1,000 * 10%) / 9.5).
The benefit to this option is a reduction in the number of L-SS units and assembly time.
Note : The above examples are meant as general guidelines; the control factor may vary depending on tank shape and design.
Installation Guidelines
Once the tank is packed full with the L-SS, the following procedure is recommended:
Fill the tank two thirds full and drive around for ten or fifteen minutes; this process is very important in that it enables the L-SS to properly settle;
- Visually inspect the inside of the tank to determine whether additional L-SS units are required ;
- This will provide an accurate calculation as to the exact number of L-SS required; and
We also recommend speaking with ourselves or your customer on a weekly basis for the first month to ensure the L-SS system has completely settled. |
