OPW 199ASV Anti-Siphon Valve
The OPW 199ASV Anti-Siphon Valve is
designed to help prevent siphoning of
an aboveground storage tank should a
leak or break occur in the fuel-supply
line. The 199ASV installs on the top of an
aboveground storage tank with a suction
rod on the inlet and the fuel-supply line
(to a remote pump) on the outlet of the
valve.
A poppet in the valve remains
normally closed, isolating the tank from
siphoning. When the remote pump
is activated, it overcomes a factory-adjusted spring set to a predetermined
hydrostatic head pressure and allows
flow of fuel out of the AST. An internal
pressure relief valve helps absorb
thermal expansion in the fuel-supply line.
The 199ASV is available in female
NPT threads with four different
factory-adjusted hydrostatic
head-pressure settings.
