2206.6 Piping, Valves, Fittings and Ancillary Equipment for Use With Liquid Motor Fuel

NYC Fire Code 2014 > 22 Motor Fuel-Dispensing Facilities and Repair Garages > 2206 Design and Installation Requirements for Liquid Motor Fuel-Dispensing Facilities > 2206.6 Piping, Valves, Fittings and Ancillary Equipment for Use With Liquid Motor Fuel
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
The design, fabrication, assembly, testing and inspection of piping, valves, fittings and ancillary equipment for use with liquid motor fuel shall be in accordance with FC Chapter 34 except as otherwise specified in FC 2206.6.1 through 2206.6.3, and FC 2206.9 and 2206.10.

2206.6.1 Protection From Damage

Piping shall be located such that it is protected from physical damage and designed to accommodate settlement, vibration, expansion or contraction.

2206.6.2 Piping, Valves, Fittings and Ancillary Equipment for Aboveground Tanks

Piping, valves, fittings and ancillary equipment for aboveground tanks shall comply with the requirements of FC 2206.6.2.1 through 2206.6.2.11.

2206.6.2.1 Tank Openings

Tank openings for aboveground tanks shall be through the top only. There shall be no openings except those necessary to inspect, fill, empty and vent the tank.

2206.6.2.2 Fill-Pipe Connections

The fill-pipe for aboveground tanks shall be provided with a means for making a direct connection to the cargo tank's fuel-delivery hose so that liquid motor fuel is not exposed to the open air during the filling operation. Operator safety equipment for the filling operation shall be provided in accordance with OSHA regulations. Where any portion of the fill-pipe exterior to the tank extends below the level of the top of the tank, a check valve, a dry break coupling and a quick closing valve shall be installed at the fill connection. Tank fill connections from a remote location are prohibited.

2206.6.2.3 Overfill Protection

Overfill protection shall be provided for aboveground storage tanks. Overfill prevention devices shall be designed to withstand the pressure generated by the cargo tank discharge pump and shall automatically shut off the flow into the tank when the tank is not more than 95 percent full.

2206.6.2.4 Siphon Prevention

An approved antisiphon method shall be provided in the piping system to prevent flow of liquid motor fuel by siphon action.

2206.6.2.5 Emergency Relief Venting

Aboveground storage tanks, tank compartments and enclosed secondary containment spaces shall be provided with emergency relief venting in accordance with FC Chapter 34.

2206.6.2.6 Spill Containers

Aboveground tank spill containers having a capacity of not less than 5 gallons (19 L) shall be provided for each fill connection. Spill containers shall be noncombustible and shall be fixed to the tank and equipped with a manual drain valve that drains into the primary tank.

2206.6.2.7 Piping Material Construction

Piping shall be of a minimum Schedule 40 steel construction.

2206.6.2.8 Compatibility

Piping, fittings, components and joint compounds shall be mutually compatible, and compatible with diesel fuel and other commonly-used combustible liquid motor fuels, including the additives commonly used in such combustible motor fuels. Joint compounds shall be listed and approved.

2206.6.2.9 Pressure Relief Devices

Where liquid motor fuel may become trapped between shutoff valves and/or check valves, affected piping sections shall be provided with pressure-relief devices that will discharge the pressure generated by thermal expansion back into the tank.

2206.6.2.10 Vent Piping

Each tank shall be provided with a separate unobstructed vent line, without any trap or device that causes excessive back pressure, and shall be maintained unobstructed at all times.

2206.6.2.11 Vent Termination

Vent outlets shall discharge outdoors and upward. The discharge point shall be no less than 15 feet (4572 mm) above the adjacent ground level and no less than 10 feet (3048 mm) from the nearest building opening.

2206.6.3 Piping, Valves, Fittings and Ancillary Equipment for Underground Tanks

Piping, valves, fittings and ancillary equipment for underground tanks shall comply with the requirements of FC Chapter 34 and NFPA 30A, except as otherwise provided in FC 2206.6.3.1, 2206.6.3.2 and 2206.10.

2206.6.3.1 Piping Design and Construction

Piping, including vent piping, shall be of a minimum Schedule 40 steel construction. Approved nonmetallic piping, such as fiberglass-reinforced plastic or other equivalent corrosion-resistant material, may be installed underground.

2206.6.3.2 Underground Tank Piping

Piping shall be installed underground, except for the vertical riser of the vent.

2206.6.3.3 Compatibility

Piping, fittings, components and joint compounds shall be mutually compatible, and compatible with gasoline, diesel fuel, methanol and other commonly-used liquid motor fuels, including the additives commonly used in such liquid motor fuels. Joint compounds shall be listed and approved.
