2.4.
Hose and Accessories Installation
•
Hose assemblies should be U.L. Listed and installed in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
•
Install the hose assembly after the pump 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.
•
For additional safety, breakaway connectors on the hose are recommended for all
installations. Refer to your state and local codes for breakaway device requirements that
apply to your installation.
Use only UL Listed hoses and nozzles. 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.
WARNING
With the meter/register
option, there is a choice of a
1” female NPT outlet at the
top or back of the meter for
the hose connection. A plug
is provided for the unused
outlet.
If the meter/register is not
used, there is a 1” female
NPT outlet available at the
top of the pump for the hose
connection.
