INTRODUCTION 

Trico Spectrum Oil Storage Systems are an innovative solution to resolving bulk oil storage issues for 

constricted space requirements. They allow expansion from the base unit while eliminating 

contamination issues. Storage systems are available with up to a 6-tank configuration depending on 

your bulk storage requirements. All systems come standard with 1-1/4” Heavy Wall Wire-Yarn 

Reinforced clear Phthalate Free PVC lines and brass shutoff valves. Gravity dispensing valves are 

standard self-closing bronze with a 3/4" NPT nozzle threading. The tanks are filled using a manifold 

system with independent T-Handle valves for each tank, as well as a drain flush valve to minimize cross-

contamination. Each 2-tank stack comes with a 73 Gallon Spill Containment Reservoir with a built-in 

dispensing tray area. The motor and pump combination draw a maximum of 17.2 amps requiring the 

system to be placed on a separate 20-amp circuit. The bronze gear pump is positive displacement and 

self-priming.
