Operating precautionsFranklin Fueling Systems (FFS) equipment is designed to be installed in areas where volatile liquids such as gasoline and diesel fuel are present. Working in such a hazardous environment presents a risk of severe injury or death if you do not follow standard industry practices and the instructions in this manual. Before you work with or install the equipment covered in this manual, or any related equipment, read this entire manual, particularly the following precautions:

IMPORTANT: The part described in this document is one element of a system. Install all components of this system according to the manufacturer’s specifications so that the system’s integrity is not compromised. Test the complete system after installation according to all pertinent local, state and federal laws to make sure it is operating properly. If you do not verify proper operation, there could be environmental contamination and/or system degradation.

IMPORTANT: To help prevent spillage from an underground storage tank, make sure the delivery equipment is well-maintained, that there is a proper connection, and that the fill adaptor is tight. Delivery personnel should inspect delivery elbows and hoses for damage and missing parts.

CAUTION: Use only original FFS parts. Substituting non-FFS parts could cause the device to fail, which could create a hazardous condition and/or harm the environment.

WARNING: Follow all codes that govern how you install and service this product and the entire system. Always lock out and tag electrical circuit breakers while installing or servicing this equipment and related equipment. A potentially lethal electrical shock hazard and the possibility of an explosion or fire from a spark can result if the electrical circuit breakers are accidentally turned on while you are installing or servicing this product. Refer to this manual (and documentation for related equipment) for complete installation and safety information.

WARNING: Before you enter a containment sump, check for the presence of hydrocarbon vapors. Inhaling these vapors can make you dizzy or unconscious, and if ignited, they can explode and cause serious injury or death. Containment sumps are designed to trap hazardous liquid spills and prevent environmental contamination, so they can accumulate dangerous amounts of hydrocarbon vapors. Check the atmosphere in the sump regularly while you are working in it. If vapors reach unsafe levels, exit the sump and ventilate it with fresh air before you resume working. Always have another person standing by for assistance.

WARNING: Follow all federal, state, and local laws governing the installation of this product and its associated systems. When no other regulations apply, follow NFPA codes 30, 30A, and 70 from the National Fire Protection Association. Failure to follow these codes could result in severe injury, death, serious property damage, and/or environmental contamination.

WARNING: Always secure the work area from moving vehicles. The equipment in this manual is usually mounted underground, so reduced visibility puts service personnel working on it in danger from moving vehicles that enter the work area. To help prevent this safety hazard, secure the area by using a service truck (or some other vehicle) to block access to the work area.

WARNING: Make sure you check the installation location for potential ignition sources such as radio waves, ionizing radiation, and ultrasound sonic waves. If you identify any potential ignition sources, you must make sure safety measure are implemented.

Installation

Installing the sumpIMPORTANT: Keep matching sump lids and sump bases together, do not mix parts. Number lids and bases to avoid confusion. Do not store a lid separate from its sump base for long periods of time. Install lids on bases when sumps are not being worked on.

IMPORTANT: If a lid does not fit on a riser, warm the lid with a heat gun so that it’s more flexible during installation.

1. If your sumps are Inspection Port (IP) versions, the IPs may come inside-out for shipping purposes. If they are, unscrew the IP and install it with the rubber boot towards the outside of the lid so that the seal is watertight.

2. Determine the burial depth. Measure the distance from the tank bung to grade level and subtract 6 inches. This is the tank sump burial depth.

IMPORTANT: Sump risers must be cut accurately so that the lid fits. A level, flat surface is required for proper lid fit.

3. Use the following table to check the riser height.

Model Number Minimum Riser Height (inches) Maximum Riser Height (inches)TSS-4736 19 33TSM-4736 24 40TSD-4736 24 64TSS-4542 21 33TSM-4542 24 40TSD-4542 24 64

4. Trim the riser, if it needs to be lowered, in 3 inch increments:

a. Use a black marker to trace the valley of the appropriate rib all around the sump to indicate a level cutting plane.

b. Use an adjustable circular saw to cut the riser at a 15° angle. Follow the cut line you made in the previous step. Make sure you cut the riser evenly around the sump to avoid peaks and valleys.

c. Sand the trimmed surface to create a level sealing surface for the lid gasket.

d. Securely seat the lid onto the base.

Cut Line(always cut sump risers in the valley of the rib)Using a black marker, trace the valley of the sump to use as a cut line.

5. Determine the location of the tank fitting adapter(s) (or manway adapter) and mount the tank sump to the adapter. See the Tank Fitting Adapter Installation Instructions and Manway Installation Instructions for further information. The tank fitting adapter must be at least 5" (127 mm) from the sump wall.

NOTE: To reduce stress on tank sumps (specifically in installations with high water tables), FFS recommends installing two Tank Fitting Adapters (TFAs) if two bungs are available.

NOTE: See the Installation Guide Overview for a list of proper backfill materials.

6. Be sure to properly support the tank sump with approved backfill material below and around the tank sump.

7. Install the lid on the tank sump during backfill operations to prevent the sump from distorting. Backfill the area below the tank sump (with approved backfill) to support the base of the sump.

IMPORTANT: Do not perform the following step until:• Entry boots or bulkhead boots have been installed.• The submersible pump has been installed, valves and fittings have been plumbed, and the

piping has been installed.• Pipe primary and secondary ducting have been air tested.

8. Place the lid on the sump base so it is securely seated.

NOTE: See the Installation Guide Overview for a list of proper backfill materials.

9. Backfill evenly around the sump with approved backfill material while the sump lid is installed. Do not over-compact the backfill, or you may distort the sump.

6

10. Remove the lid from the sump. Check the sump for any deformation, and then place the lid back on the sump so it is securely seated.

11. Center the manhole skirt around the sump riser and lid - there should be a 1" minimum clearance between the bottom of the manhole lid and the top of the sump lid. In addition, there should be a minimum 1" clearance around the sides of the sump.

NOTE: The skirt’s depth should exceed the height of the riser to ensure proper operation of the sump lid.

12. Pour a minimum of four inches of concrete around the manhole skirt.
