A Tour of the Clay & Bailey Tank Lineup, From the OPV Gen X to the Emergency Vent
Get to Know Our Family of Best-in-Class Products Specifying an aboveground fuel storage tank means choosing small components that each carry a big job. These include the valve that stops an overfill, the vent that protects the tank shell, and the solenoid that guards the supply line. We’ve spent more than a century building these […]
Audible Alarms and Overfill Prevention Valves Are Critical Safety Components for Your Aboveground Storage Tanks
Learn More About These Fuel Tank Essentials A fuel delivery should be routine at a backup-power site. A driver connects the hose, the tank fills, the hose comes off, and the generator stays ready for the next outage. When that routine slips into an overfill situation, you’re left with cleanup, regulatory attention, and a hard […]
Why Do Healthcare and Retirement Communities Rely on Backup Power?
How Overfill Prevention Valves and Other Fuel Storage Equipment Play a Vital Role A power outage at a hospital or a retirement community can lead to significant risk. Operational downtime is costly, and the consequences for those receiving care can be even greater. Ventilators, dialysis machines, refrigerated medications, oxygen concentrators, climate control in memory care […]
Tank Product Highlights: Solenoid Valves and Overfill Prevention Valves
How Mission-Critical Fuel Storage Systems Depend on These Two Products Solenoid valves and overfill prevention valves are two distinct fuel storage tank components, yet they share one purpose: protecting tank systems, so facilities can rely on the backup power generators they fuel. In short, these valves prevent failures that facilities can’t afford. They also share […]
What To Look For in a Superior Overfill Prevention Valve
A Closer Look at an Essential Component for Today’s Critical Fuel Storage Applications An overfill prevention valve (OPV) is a mechanical safety device installed inside the fill pipe or drop tube of an aboveground fuel storage tank (AST) or underground fuel storage tank (UST). As fuel is delivered to the tank, the valve restricts product […]
