OPW Edge Double Wall Spill Container: Missing Assembly Notice & Instructions

By BlogAdmin July 28, 2021 Important Bulletins, Maintenance & Repair, Notifications, Piping & Containment, Product Support, Products

IMPORTANT: EDGE DW Visigauge!!

At this time, OPW Edge DW Spill Container is being shipped without the Visigauge assembly due to a shortage from their vendor.

The product is being produced with a temporary plug cap in its place to allow the factory and the installer to perform the interstitial test to verify the integrity of the containment.

We apologize for the inconvenience and OPW will send out a replacement Visigauge to distributors who purchased this product. It will include a Visigauge assembly and one replacement o-ring seal.

Once you have received the Visigauge, please follow these instructions to install it. (Click here to read OPW’s Edge PDF)
Step 1: First, identify the temporary plug cap as the part with the hexagonal shaped head that is installed at the top of the round white gauge riser.
Step 2: Please unthread the temporary plug cap from the round white gauge riser.
Step 3: Next, install the replacement 0-ring onto the underside seat of the Visigauge as shown below.
Step 4: Finally, thread on the Visigauge into the white gauge adapter. This should be tightened to a quarter turn past finger tight.
Step 5: The Visigauge is now installed and the spill container can be vacuum tested to verify tightness.

NOTE: Spill Containers with this plug installed will be identified with the below label beside the OPW part# label on the outside of the box.

Tips for Keeping Your Site Sanitized During COVID-19

By BlogAdmin March 25, 2020 Important Bulletins, Notifications, Safety, Service Bulletins

Convenience Stores Stay Vigilant on Gas Pump Sanitation

I am sure by now you have all been hammered with emails and posts in regards to COVID-19. It doesn’t matter where you are on the planet, there is something posted or being said about it and for good reason!

Gilbarco has shared this blog post in regards to sanitizing your site against COVID-19 with information from the CDC and Consumer Reports. I would say the CDC is the best source of general information seeing that is where it all flows from. The Gilbarco blog past also contains more specific and relevant cleaning information for specific equipment and components found in fuel retailing locations. It also includes other links to posts and articles as to how we can all help one another deal with this global crisis.

And here are the highlights from the Gilbarco blog post:

Advice for Retailers:

There are many recommendations on solutions for cleaning and disinfecting high touch surfaces, but some chemicals are too harsh and can damage fuel dispensers. Ammonia-based cleaners weaken and damage bezel doors, screens, and other vital dispenser components.

Consumer Reports also advises against using ammonia-based solutions.

We suggest using a diluted household bleach solution, as recommended by the CDC.

Clean the dispenser with soap and water, then disinfect with the bleach solution
- Prepare a bleach solution by mixing:
  - 5 tablespoons (1/3rd cup) bleach per gallon of water or
  - 4 teaspoons bleach per quart of water

Other cleaning considerations for retailers:

Do not use fuels or acetone
Do not use any cleaner or polish with a citrus element
Do not use cleaners containing ammonia, sodium hydroxide or acids. Things like glass cleaner contain ammonia and will cause damage to dispensers
Do not use strong solvents
Do not spray any cleaner or water into the card reader, receipt printer, cash acceptor or displays

Advice for Consumer:

Using a gas pump is no different than opening a freezer door at the grocery store. Businesses are taking unprecedented steps to make their businesses safe for consumers. Still, people operating gas pumps should exercise caution, giving them similar treatment to a grocery store shopping cart.

If possible, wipe the nozzle handle, buttons and keypads with a sanitizing cloth.
During the pandemic, wash hands with soap and water for 20 seconds. If this isn’t possible, use hand sanitizer after operating a gas pump.

I highly recommend you check out the full Gilbarco blog post as well as the information from the CDC and Consumer Reports websites.

We WILL get through this together!

This will be a synopsis of what we’ve heard from around our industry in regards to how the virus is impacting day-to-day business.

First and foremost, we wish everyone the best as they deal with getting through this crisis and we WILL get through it because the human spirit is strong in the worst of situations! And while many of us may feel we fall outside the high risk category, we all have someone near and dear to us who is at risk and we just need to keep that in perspective.

While this doesn’t have anything to do with petroleum, it sure does on a human level and it is helpful information regardless. This link for the CDC – Center for Disease Control and Prevention will provide the best information with what is going on with the virus and how to protect yourself on a personal and business level. You should also check with local and state authorities as well.

Gilbarco has released a video with instructions on how to clean your Passport screen of COVID-19, the coronavirus:

All Kennedy locations are still operating under normal business hours and as we get word in from around the industry, many of the manufacturers are as well. We have not heard from anyone who has shut down at this point. The biggest impact is on the various representatives who travel, with many businesses adhering to the restrictions on travel. There may also be some lead times impacted for large orders and special order items.

As we all know, this is an extremely fluid situation with changes occurring throughout the day, every day. If situations change, we will do our best to get word to you as quickly as we can. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at 1.800.451.4021.

We wish you all the best at getting through this global crisis.
