PVC tank
Dear Regulator: RE: Testing Product Lines of Underground Storage Tanks I am alerting you that there is a device on the market for pressure testing product lines, used in conjunction with tank testing, which is not safe. This device, manufactured by Horner Creative Products, 413 State Park Drive, Bay City, Michigan 48706, utilizes a plastic (PVC) cylinder which is attached to the pipeline, filled with gasoline, and then up to 100 PSI air pressure applied to the cylinder. Not only have the manufacturers of PVC indicated for years that
"extreme dangers" are involved because of its potential
to explode, but they have notified Mr. Horner via their distributors,
that they do not want him using their material (PVC) to make his
line tester. He has thumbed his nose at the manufacturers of PVC,
and continues to market this product. The use of PVC for compressed
air or gas systems has been prohibited by several states - copies
of their hazard alerts enclosed.
