Hose Nozzle Valves for Gasoline and Gasoline/Ethanol Blends with Nominal Ethanol Concentrations up to 85 Percent (E0 – E85)
Scope 1.1 These requirements cover hose nozzle valves that are intended to be used for the control of motor fuels as indicated in 1.3. They are of the type used in motor fuel dispensing equipment. Hose nozzle valves covered by this standard are for use with motor fuels which are handled at temperatures within the range of –20 °F (–29 °C) to 125 °F (52 °C) and an operating pressure of minimum 50 psig (345 kPa). 1.2 Hose nozzle valves for gasoline/ethanol blends with nominal ethanol concentrations up to 85 % (E0 – E85) shall be constructed to comply with the following: a) The requirements defined in the Standard for Hose Nozzle Valves for Flammable and Combustible Liquids, UL/ULC 2586; and b) The requirements in this Standard. 1.3 Hoze nozzle valves covered by these requirements are intended for use with one or more of the following as applicable: a) Gasoline formulated in accordance with the Standard Specification for Automotive Spark-Ignition Fuel, ASTM D4814; b) Gasoline/ethanol blends with nominal ethanol concentrations up to 25 % ethanol (E25), consisting of gasoline formulated in accordance with the Standard Specification for Automotive Spark-Ignition Fuel, ASTM D4814, when blended with denatured fuel ethanol formulated to be consistent with the Standard Specification for Denatured Fuel Ethanol for Blending With Gasolines For Use as Automotive Spark-Ignition Engine Fuel, ASTM D4806; or c) Gasoline/ethanol blends with nominal ethanol concentrations above 25 % formulated in accordance with the Standard Specification in (b) or formulated in accordance with the Standard Specification for Ethanol Fuel Blends for Flexible-Fuel Automotive Spark-Ignition Engines, ASTM D5798. 1.4 These requirements cover hose nozzle valves of the manually operated and automatic type. When they form a part of an assembly which provides for additional functions or service, the requirements are outside the scope of these requirements. 1.5 These requirements do not cover the following: a) Hose nozzle valves for handling liquids under cryogenic conditions. b) Hose nozzle valves for general refinery service, offshore and pipe line terminals, natural gas processing plants, gas distribution systems, petrochemical processing facilities, or the like. c) Hose nozzle valves operated wholly or partially by electricity or battery. 1.6 This standard does not cover hose nozzle valves for use with diesel, biodiesel, diesel/biodiesel blends, kerosene or fuel oil, which are covered under the Standard for Hose Nozzle Valves for Diesel Fuel, Biodiesel Fuel, Diesel/Biodiesel Blends with Nominal Biodiesel Concentrations up to 20 Percent (B20), Kerosene, and Fuel Oil, UL/ULC 2586B. 1.7 This standard does not cover hose nozzle valves for use with liquefied petroleum gas (LP-Gas), which are covered under the Standard for Flow Control Valves for Anhydrous Ammonia and LP-Gas, UL/ULC 125. 1.8 Products covered by this Standard are intended to be installed and used in accordance with the applicable Codes and Regulations as determined by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), such as but not limited to: a) In the United States: 1) Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code, NFPA 30; 2) Code for Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities and Repair Garages, NFPA 30A. b) In Canada: 1) The National Fire Code of Canada; 2) Provincial or other Regulations. 1.9 Products intended to be rated for use with gasoline or gasoline/ethanol blends with nominal ethanol concentrations: a) Up to 25 % (E0 – E25) shall be evaluated using the CE25a test fluid as the only applicable test fluid; b) Up to 40 % (E0 – E40) shall be evaluated using both the CE25a and the CE40a test fluids; or c) Up to 85 % shall be evaluated using both the CE25a and the CE85a test fluids.
