+ Which standard — UL-142, UL-2085, or Flameshield — does my tank need?
+ Which standard — UL-142, UL-2085, or Flameshield — does my tank need?
The right tank depends on your local fire and safety codes. Here’s a quick breakdown of common standards, for context:
- UL‑142: A foundational standard for single‑wall steel tanks used to store flammable and combustible liquids. It covers basic safety criteria but offers no enhanced fire resistance.
- UL‑2085: Builds upon UL‑142 with added layers of protection. These tanks include fire‑resistant materials, secondary containment, and impact resistance—often required in stricter fire-code environments or highly populated areas.
- Flameshield®: A double‑wall tank with a tight‑wrap design, 2‑hour fire resistance, built-in secondary containment, and leak monitoring capabilities—designed for advanced safety and compliance.
Because requirements vary by location, we recommend consulting your local fire marshal to determine which standard applies in your jurisdiction. Once you know, we can help you select or build the right tank to meet those requirements.
