General Installation Information
IMPORTANT
Examine the shipment immediately upon arrival to make certain there has been no damage or loss in
transit. Bennett Pump Company, as shipper, is not liable for the hazards of transportation. Please
make damage claims directly to the truck line.
Please read these instructions carefully and read all tags attached to the dispenser before starting
installation. A dispenser that is not properly installed will not perform properly and will void the limited
warranty.
Installation must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70), the Automotive and
Marine Service Station Code (NFPA 30A), and all state and local codes.
For complete instructions for installing underground liquid storage systems, order "Recommended
Practices for Installation of Underground Liquid Storage Systems" from the Petroleum Equipment
Institute, P.O. Box 2380, Tulsa, OK 74101.
Underground Installation Requirements
EXISTING INSTALLATIONS RECEVING NEW DISPENSERS
For self-contained dispensers, the horizontal section of pipe from the underground storage tank should
be at least 18 inches below the surface at its highest point. If not, hot summertime temperatures will
convert the liquid in the pipe to vapor and stop the dispenser from functioning properly. All joints in the
product line must be tight. The product line must not sag or have any high spots.
When a new dispenser is attached to an old underground installation, the tanks should be cleaned and
tested for leaks.
Any water accumulation in the tank must be removed.
Bennett Pump is not
responsible for any damage to the dispenser or for improper operation due to accidents, abuse, or faulty
installation. We highly recommend installing new wires in the underground metal conduits.
NEW INSTALLATIONS
The underground storage tanks for self-contained dispensers should be as close to the dispenser as
possible. In hot climates or high altitudes, the distance should be very close to prevent vapor lock. The
total length of horizontal piping between the self-contained dispenser and the underground storage tank
should be no more than 60 feet.
Always test new tanks before placing them in the ground. Tank testing should be done by a qualified
professional. Never install tanks in ground containing chemicals or abrasive materials that will corrode
the tank.
