A Flameshield® tank from STAFCO is a double wall, fire-tested aboveground storage tank (AST) designed to provide both secondary containment and enhanced fire resistance. These tanks meet specific safety codes and are often used in areas where a UL-2085 Fireguard® tank is not required but fire protection is still a concern.
What Is a Flameshield® Tank?
Flameshield® is a registered design that includes:
- Steel primary tank
- Steel outer wall for containment
- Two-hour fire exposure protection (tested per UL 2080 requirements)
- Built-in interstitial space monitoring
Although not as heavy-duty as Fireguard® tanks, Flameshield® tanks provide verified fire performance while maintaining a lighter design and lower cost.
