Overview
The Red Jacket 001160565 FX1V mechanical line leak detector is a permanently installed fuel system safeguard designed for gasoline fueling infrastructure. This detector performs a 3 gallon-per-hour hourly test automatically, and if a leak is detected, fuel flow is restricted to the dispensers. It provides the fastest mechanical line leak test available for hourly monitoring and is the most cost-effective and reliable means to meet U.S. Federal Environmental Protection Agency catastrophic line leak detection requirements.
Key Features
- UL listed and third party certified to ensure quality, performance, and durability
- Guaranteed to detect leaks at a rate of 3 gallons per hour at 10 PSI for 24 months from date of manufacture
- Meets EPA requirements in environments that experience extreme temperature changes with a robust design that works effectively in the most common and difficult testing environments
- Adapts to applications using high-resiliency lines, such as flexible piping
- Installs and troubleshoots without requiring special tools
- Can be used with any Red Jacket or competitive submersible turbine pump
