Hoover SP-12412 Compliant IBC

Release Date: 4 April 2007

Hoover Offers SP-12412 Compliant Intermediate Bulk Container

Hoover Materials Handling Group, Inc. offers the Cargo Valve Liquitote™, an IBC that complies with the DOT’s Special Provision 12412.

DOT - SP12412, commonly referred to as the pump-off special permit, allows for the discharge of combustible and flammable liquids from an IBC while it is located on a transport vehicle. Under this special permit, only IBCs with bottom discharge systems that include emergency shut-off valves are permitted to discharge hazardous material from a trailer or flat bed.

To comply with the special permit’s requirements that each emergency shut-off valve system must have three means of closure, the Hoover Cargo Valve Liquitote’s all 316 Stainless Steel Cargo Valve Assembly includes the following closure system:

1. A Dust Cap

2. A 2 inch FNPT in-line external Ball Valve with Male Quick-connect Adapter

3. A 3 inch Spring Loaded Flanged internal Emergency Foot Valve with a side-mounted Pull Handle

incorporating a Fusible Link.

Hoover’s Cargo Valve Liquitote™ IBC is the only UN31A IBC which meets these requirements. This exclusively Hoover IBC is available in sizes ranging from 350 to 550 gallons and is stocked in Houston, Texas.

Hoover welcomes the opportunity to assist with Special Permit-12412 compliance.
