OPW 10 Plus Series Installation & Maintenance Instructions

10 PLUS Series* Emergency Shut-Off Valves
IMPORTANT: Please read all warnings and follow
the installation instructions completely and
carefully. Failure to do so will void all warranties
and may cause product failure, or result in
environmental contamination due to liquid
leakage into the soil, creating hazardous
conditions.
WARNING: Anytime an OPW 10 Series Emergency
Valve is being tested or serviced, the power to the
pumping system must be turned off.
WARNING: Using electrically- operated equipment
near gasoline or gasoline vapors may result in a
fire or explosion, causing personal injury and
property damage. Be sure that the working area
is free from such hazards, and always use proper
precautions.
WARNING: Proper operation is dependent on
proper installation and regular maintenance. The
following instructions are provided to assist you
in properly installing and maintaining your 10
PLUS Valve. Failure to follow these instructions
may cause failure of the valve to close in the
event of an emergency, resulting in a hazardous
condition.
The shear groove must be at the same level or a
maximum of ½" above or below the top of the
grade or top of island. Failure to install the shear
groove at this level may result in a hazardous
condition. (On 10P series the shear grove is
centered in the SmartGuard area.)
CAUTION: The hub sub-assembly and link must
have ample clearance to prevent striking against
foreign objects or structures. If the lever or link is
obstructed the valve may not close in the event of
an emergency resulting in a hazardous condition.
OPW recommends a minimum of 1" of clearance
surrounding any moving external parts.
The valve body must be rigidly anchored to a
structural member within the island to ensure
breakage at the shear groove in the event of
impact. Failure to rigidly anchor the valve body
may result in an excessive loss of product and
may cause a hazardous condition.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: When mounting the OPW 10
Series Emergency Shut-Off Valves, the anchoring
device employed must withstand a force greater
than 650 ft. pounds per valve. Stabilizer mounting
bolts are provided with each valve.

HOW TO ATTACH VALVE TO RISER THREADS
Coat riser threads with a UL classified gasoline-
resistant pipe-joint compound (non-hardening) before
attaching the valve to the riser threads.
DO NOT USE TEFLON TAPE
Thread valve tightly onto riser threads by
grasping inlet end surface "A". (See Figure 2.)
A thread protector is supplied in the outlet end of
the valve and should remain in place until the final
connection is made between the valve and pedestal.
CAUTION: Tighten threads until tight seal is
obtained. Additional tightening may cause the
body to crack and may allow product leakage
during test or in service. (TORQUE
