Hoses
Hoses must be UL approved and conductive from end-to-end. To determine the hose length,
refer to
Note: When determining the hose length, the effect of adding breakaways adds significantly to
the actual hose length.
Do not install soft-wall hoses, they commonly cause a small sale to indicate when the unit is
activated and the nozzle is closed.
Determining Hose Length
To determine the correct hose length for various types of hoses, refer to the following table.
Install Warning Labels and Signs for Customers
Install warning labels and signs to ensure that customers are warned of potential safety
hazards. Ensure that the warning labels and the signs are readily visible. At a minimum, install
the following signs:
• Turn off the vehicle before fueling.
• No smoking; do not use matches or lighters nearby.
• Use only non-breakable, approved containers for storing fuel; ensure that the container is
metal and identified properly for fuel storage.
• Static electricity hazards during fueling.
Promptly replace any missing, incomplete, or illegible labels or operating instructions.
Type
Length
Standard hardwall 5/8 or 3/4 ID (without breakaway)

Hoses of excessive length may create a trip hazard.
Serious injury could occur as a result of tripping over an excessively long hose.
Do not use excessive length hoses. Also ensure that hose retrievers are installed
and are in good operating condition.
WARNING
Static electricity can cause an explosion.
Static electricity, including an electrostatic charge on your body, can cause a spark
sufficient to ignite fuels and their vapors.
After getting out of a vehicle, touch the metal of your vehicle to discharge any
electrostatic charge before you approach the dispenser island.
