New Defender Series® Adjustable Drop Tube Adapter for Overfill Prevention Valves(OPV)

The Defender Series® Adjustable Drop Tube Adapter for OPV provides precise, post-installation control of valve shutoff position, allowing installers to fine-tune OPV depth by ±1 inch after drop tubes have been cut and installed. This flexibility helps maximize tank fill levels, while supporting proper tank-volume shutoff operation and compliance with local and UST fill-level regulations.

Highlights

Maximize Tank Capacity

With the ability to precisely adjust shutoff level, operators can maximize their usable tank fuel capacity, reduce lost storage volume, and optimize every fuel drop.

Ensure Compliance

The adjustable adapter design enables accurate installation of the OPV at the required height from the start, helping contractors meet UST regulations on the first installation and eliminating rework, compliance risk, or costly downtime.

Robust Design

Tested through thousands of fill cycles, this design allows for precision shut-off positioning, while also staying in place after “line shock” of valve shut off once tank capacity is reached.

Easy Retrofit Upgrade

Upgrading cost is minimized as adapter can be easily retrofitted to the existing upper drop tube without replacing.
