whiskeytango Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 What kind of UL rating do you guys have on your mixing tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mash Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Not sure what you mean by mixing tank, but generally most of my equipment is not UL rated. If it's NFS rated for food it's good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiskeytango Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 Just the tank that your mix your spirits down to bottle proof in. Fire marshal seems to think we need a UL rating on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MG Thermal Consulting Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 If it has electrical components, UL has some interest. Other items having to do with safety as well. It also is used to standardize components (to be UL you have to use UL components). There are other testing agencies out there (ETL is another), but if you have UL components and the inspector doesn't budge, you will need to get it rated "in the field"...aka money to get a sticker. If you don't have components that are rated by some testing agency, it could get sticky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this something that tank makers do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MG Thermal Consulting Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 It's a stretch if you don't have an agitator or any other moving parts driven by a motor? Electrical inspectors are the ones normally the ones dealing with UL issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
