Description:

These are water pump system tanks, designed for use in residential water systems, for the purpose of regulating

the water pressure in the home. Typically pre-charged with either compressed air or compressed nitrogen, they are

ruggedly built to withstand over 300 psi of test pressure. Maximum operating pressure is 100 to 125 psi depending on

model of tank.

They are articles under OSHA’s description, so the concept of an MSDS really does not apply to these products.

Nevertheless, because they qualify as hazardous materials under Dangerous Goods regulations when pressurized, we have

prepared this document to clarify their HazMat status when shipped as Limited Quantity shipments.

Materials and contents (in transportation):

Steel Tanks: These models have a heavy-gauge steel construction, corrosion-resistant high-gloss, appliance-

quality finish, and rugged seamless water cell. They may be charged with air or nitrogen, as indicated above.

Fiberwound Tanks: These models are constructed of a durable composite construction – a one-piece molded

inner liner of high-density polyethylene, fiberglass wrap, and ethylene-vinyl acetate air cell. They may be charged with

air or nitrogen, as indicated above.

Health and Safety Hazards

The contents of these tanks do not present a real danger in ground or sea transportation, so no emergency response

or first aid explanations are necessary. However, the varying HazMat definitions employed by the applicable regulators

do require that these tanks sometimes be shipped as HazMat products. See the below tables for specifics.

Nota Bene: Company policy prohibits shipping tanks at precharges or modes contrary to the options listed above.

Pressurized tanks by airfreight, for example, would be classified as HazMat shipments and are currently prohibited by

Company policy.

* Company policy is to remove all precharge and leave the valve open when shipping airfreight. The tank is then

merely an empty, clean, non-hazardous, unregulated article. This applies to both domestic and international air shipping.

Limited Quantity Exception Summary 49 CFR 173.306(g), Special Permits SP-14700 and 14818, and CA2009020012 are all Limited Quantity exceptions for water pump system tanks, for road, rail, and sea transport, issued by the DOT, either on their own behalf (for domestic transport) or on behalf of the IMO (for international water transport). These provisions allow our water pump system tanks to be shipped under Ltd Qty exceptions, instead of being treated as a regular HazMat load.
