Having a watertight fueling system is becoming increasingly more important to customers, and Franklin Fueling Systems is doing their part to provide products that ensure watertight connections and result in customer savings.

The new rigid entry boot for electrical conduit features a significant upgrade in design that ensures a watertight seal between the conduit and containment sump. Clamping seals are used to compress the fitting into place against the sump wall at a 90-degree entry angle, ensuring a watertight connection. This design also saves in installation time, as the compression process eliminates the need to drill multiple bolt holes for fastening purposes. Only a single 2.75" hole is required for installation.

Piping and Containment Product Manager Gary Saltz describes other design upgrades to the new entry boot: “This new design significantly reduces the amount of exposed rubber in the assembly, which is incredibly beneficial as hydrocarbons can break down and crack rubber over time. The body is made up of glass-filled nylon which is also designed to withstand long-term exposure to hydrocarbons”.

This new product also features the flexibility to be used with various product types such as:

• Galvanized or coated conduit,
• Flat or round sump surfaces, and;
• Polyethylene or fiberglass sumps.

Franklin Fueling Systems is dedicated to developing new products that contribute to a watertight fueling system, resulting in customer savings.
