Sliptube

Sliptube has everything you need when it comes time to install or repair an outdoor wall faucet, sliptube, wall or even a yard hydrant. Once you've determined which one of our sliptube proof faucets best serves your needs, take a look at our instructional step-by-step video on how to install it.

John R. Homer, Shreveport, La. This invention has vto do with a device for'in'dieating the level of liquid in a pressure vessel, and for determining the gas-filled space 'above such liquid, commonly called outage space. It is particularly useful in determining the quantum and character of the contents of a tank containing liquefied petroleum gas fuels, such as butane and the like. Grages have been used which are unsafe, 'delicate and easily damaged. For example, themagnetic float type gage is such a device.

The liquefied petroleumV gases stored Y in the tank which carries this sliptube are quite volatile and usually exert sliptube pressure. This gage did 'not answer the need for safety, sliptube, so ever ,present in the handling and gaging of liquefied petroleum gases, sliptube. This head is provided with hexagonal shoulders 3, spaced intermediate its ends; and the lower end of the head below the shoulders is provided with threads 4 for screwing it into suitable opening in the tank.

Pipe size is an industry designation, not the actual size. View information about how to measure threaded and unthreaded pipe and pipe fittings. Connect these fittings to Schedule 40 plastic pipe— they are the industry standard for residential and commercial low-pressure plumbing and water supply applications. They are plastic for good corrosion resistance. See inside your line with this clear pipe, which works in a variety of residential and commercial low-pressure plumbing and water supply applications. Connect this pipe to standard-wall plastic pipe fittings for a variety of residential and commercial low-pressure plumbing and water supply applications.

March 20, H. In one aspect, it relates to apparatus for gauging liquefied petroleum gas in transport truck tanks. When filling tanks of transport trucks with liquefied petroleum gas LP-Gas current practice for gauging such tanks is to use a roto-gauge for determination of deliveries to the truck tank. Roto-gauges are often damaged through vibration and shock resulting from travel over roads and highways and thus become inaccurate. It has been found that in many cases serious errors have occurred in gauging liquid volumes loaded into transport trucks. These errors in some instances involve loading of too large a volume of liquid, and in other instances too small a volume of product into the tank. Obviously, it is desired to be able to load the exact volume of product desired into the tank.

An important object is to furnish Aa secondary and positive seal against fluid passing around the slip-tube and through the fittings which carry it, while the gage isbeing read. For instance if straight propane were used a greater gas space and a less liquid space would be provided for. John R. It is torbe recognized that this -is a slip tube gage; and because the tube is'required to slide up and down in its housing there would ordinarily be opportunity for leaks around the tube. II is a sectionalized elevation of the entire gage assembly. By han-d the operator slides the gage up or down in the gage head until the lower part of the gage is held at the required level. When this nut is firmly made up it will also hold the Vpacking in place. Because of these considerations the old style gage has always carried a somewhat larger channel than is required for reading and determining the contents of the tank. I-iocknutzl prevents fthe gasket from lleaving its position on the stop ring and from working loosely along tube l and from failing to separate :from projection :5 when the sliptube iis returnedto :its deepest :penetration within the tank. Of course the length of slip-tube I and the length oi' outage tube 2li can be made and measured to accommodate the requirements of the particular fuel with which this gage is to be used. It prevents fires, explosions and wastage; and it still contiuues to be a safe gage if its top-most parts are broken off. Then the operator cuts off the puzmp and closes the iilling opening in the tank.

The lower end ofslip-tube I is threaded externally; and there is screwedthereon the stop ring 25, the upper circular surface of which is smoothly finished to receive and carry gasket 2B. A 'further object is to provide a device for securely closing and locking the gage in place, when not in use. A further Objectis to provide means for automatically measuring and indicating the outage space desired to be left unfilled with liquid. John R. This head is provided with hexagonal shoulders 3, spaced intermediate its ends; and the lower end of the head below the shoulders is provided with threads 4 for screwing it into suitable opening in the tank. This tube head is threaded internally through the entire length of its vertical opening; and the upper part of the opening is made to carry screw valve I8. The necessity and advantage of providing an automatic indicator and measure for leaving the gas outage space uniilled with liquid should be as obvious as it is important; and in any event this improved gage certainly eilects this desirable object. A further object is to. Therefore, valve seat 5 has been arranged as an extension of the gage head 2; and the stop ringl has been'smoothly surfaced on its upper face and provided-with gasket material 2s which will co-act with valve seat 5 to constitute and to close a valve when the rtube is elevated in the housing. Another gage which gave trouble and frequently leaked is the old-fashioned slipetube gage; and as heretofore constructed it discharged too much fluid from the tank while it was being read; and there was no way to prevent occasional or continued leaks around the slip-tube itself, even though packing was used. Another diiculty with the older gages was that no provision was made for automatically determining, measuring and limiting the outage space so that it would not be filled with liquid. An important object is to furnish Aa secondary and positive seal against fluid passing around the slip-tube and through the fittings which carry it, while the gage isbeing read. Reading is done at infrequent intervals to determine if the tank needs to be refilled with fuel. The iioat may leak, the gears become inaccurate, and 'foreign materials cause the magnetic Vneedle to stick, especially if the glass cover is broken. Start order.
