A hand pump is included to transfer any spilled fuel to the fill pipe.
The Model 4 Sidewalk Spill Container comes with the Overfill Alarm Station features standard. The spill container interfaces with the Preferred TG-EL Series Tank Gauge to include a high level alarm that alerts the filling operator that the tank is filled to its predetermined capacity. When an overfill alarm occurs, the alarm bell (or horn) sounds and the alarm light flashes. The horn is automatically silenced in 90 seconds or instantly silenced when the operator selects the “Alarm Silence” pushbutton. The alarm automatically resets when liquid level goes below the overfill alarm setpoint.
The Preferred Model 2 wall-mounted spill container introduced a new standard in safety, spill prevention, and convenience to the fuel oil industry. Now the same electronics are availalbe in a sidewalk spill container that flush-mounts in any horizontal surface.
Junction Box For Model 2 and Model 4 (1 Tank)
The Preferred Utilities Part Number 190126 is a Junction Box used to interface either the Model 2 or Model 4 Spill Container with a single normally closed “float style” high level switch (HLS or PLS-1.) The 190126 provides the following sequence: Should an Overfill condition occur (“float style” switch contact opens) the 190126 will energize the Remote Overfill Alarm cabinet horn and light. The Overfill alarm may be silenced at the remote alarm panel by depressing the Alarm Silence Push-button (ASPB). If the alarm silence is not depressed, the Overfill Alarm bell will automatically silence after 90 seconds, but the light will stay illuminated until the oil level drops below the high level setting. Once the level of oil drops below the overfill setting the 190126 will de-energize the Remote Overfill Alarm Light.
Note: The 190126 Junction Box does not operate the remote volumetric displays of Model 2 and Model 4 Spill Containers. A Preferred Utilities Tank Gauge must be used in order to use that feature
