Shipman King provides a simple and effective form of underpump containment sumps for pressure or suction systems to meet today’s environmental requirements. The sumps provide pollution/spill control protection for fuel dispensers and fittings, located above or within the containment sump.

Our sumps are completely manufactured in Australia to meet Australian conditions, and are produced in medium density polyethylene.

The sumps are supplied completely assembled with a galvanised steel base to suit the various pumps and dispensers on today’s market. The underpump sumps can be manufactured in either a shallow or deep configuration.

To assist with ease of installation, all dispenser bases are provided with shear valve mounting bars which are adjustable in all directions to allow for accurate alignment.

To compliment our underpump containment sumps, a range of flexible entry seals are supplied and marketed by Shipman King to suit most sizes of flexible and solid piping, including electrical conduit.

To identify containment sumps required for your installation, refer to our dispenser and pump directory.

 

Shipman King polyethylene sumps are manufactured from a fuel compatible base resin with high rigidity and have been independently tested for fuel resistance. The sumps are nominally 6mm thick for strong construction and are manufactured in a number of different shapes and sizes to ensure that full containment is achieved with all the different pumps and dispensers on today’s market.
