COVER ME! Your One-Stop Shop for Replacement Covers & Lids

  By BlogAdmin December 22, 2016 ,

As if winters weren’t bad enough with the cold, snow and flu, now a snow plow comes along to turn your station’s manhole covers and spill lids into flying saucers or a pile of scrap.  Either way, a sizable hole in the middle of your station’s lot does nobody any good.

But not to worry!

The Kennedy Company STOCKS a wide variety of replacement covers and we can even have them custom-made for those hard to find and/or obsolete manholes and spills.  And just because you can’t find it on our site, doesn’t mean we don’t have it or can’t get it so by all means, please give us a call for those hard to find covers, lids or any of your other service station and refueling location needs!

We carry ever major brand with many sitting on our shelves. We also deal with several manufacturers capable of fabricating replacements for those very old, obsolete manholes no longer supported by the manufacturer.

Sealed, locking, different colors;  whatever your configuration is, if we don’t have it, we can get it!

Tank Sump Retrofit Covers

Okay, so it’s not likely a plow will wipe out tank sump covers underground (that requires a special kinda cowboy behind the wheel of a plow truck!) but winters are tough on all equipment and with so many compliance laws and regulations, containment failures are not an option so check out some of the available retrofit tank sump lids currently on the market.

FFS TB0415: Shared Learning – Electrofusion Entry Seal installation

  By Andre III Laverdiere May 4, 2015 , ,

FFSmod

Sealing Electrofusion Entry Seals

The Electrofusion Entry Seal welds the pipe and chamber together. When the welding is done correctly, the parts become one homogeneous piece. There is no need and it is NOT recommended to add any sealant to the welded joints after the weld is completed. Sealant will only make it more difficult to repair if there is an issue with the weld. Any sealant is temporary and could possibly mask a problem with the weld. Franklin Fueling Systems does not support using sealant of any kind on the electrofusion weld seals or fittings.

Sealant Guide

General Rules

  • Electrofusion Entry Seals must follow the welding steps as outlined in Franklin Fueling Systems manual 408001007 for Electrofusion Welding Instructions. Failure to follow our install instructions puts you at risk of a faulty unreliable weld.
  •  Electrofusion fittings can be re-welded: The fitting must be fully cool and continuity must remain in the heating coil wires. Contact Franklin Fueling System Technical Support for re-welding instructions.
  • ALL entries into sumps and chambers must be perpendicular to entry face.
  • Sealants should never be used to do repairs on electrofusion welded joints.
  • Screws, rivets or other mechanical fasteners should never be used on these fittings.
  • If there is a leak after the fitting is installed, contact Franklin Fueling Systems Technical Support.
