OPW Retail Fueling to Showcase Engineering Excellence at WPMA

By OPW | Jan 20, 2026

Smithfield, NC, January 21, 2026 — OPW Retail Fueling, a global leader in fluid-handling solutions, will highlight its latest offerings at Booth M475 during the upcoming Western Petroleum Marketers Association WPMA EXPO, Feb. 17-19, at the MGM Grand Resort in Las Vegas, NV.

During the expo, OPW Retail Fueling will showcase a wide array of products, including its latest fueling system enhancements, the 71SO Segmented Overfill Prevention Valve and the segmented 61T-4SC Drop Tube, which simplify shipping and storage.  

“Innovation at OPW Retail Fueling reflects a comprehensive approach to product design that prioritizes safety, quality and efficiency at every touchpoint,” said Ed Kammerer, Vice President Global Product Marketing, OPW Retail Fueling. “‘Fueled By Excellence,’ our mission is to optimize every step of the value chain for our distributors, their customers and end users. Our Product Managers and District Managers look forward to showcasing how our products deliver on that promise at WPMA.”

The 71SO Segmented Overfill Valve:

  • Retains the breakthrough two-stage positive shut-off mechanism of the original OPW 71SO
  • Allows for more compact packaging and easier transport due to the drop tube’s four 5'-long interlocking sections
  • Eliminates shipping damage and overlength shipping fees
  • Is easily pieced together during on-site installation without the need for glue or epoxy

The 61T-4SC Segmented Drop Tube:

  • Transfers product from the fill connection point to within 6" (or per local requirements) of the bottom of the underground storage tank
  • Allows for submerged filling of the tank, resulting in a more efficient delivery flow rate
  • Reduces the buildup of vapors or foam in the tank
  • Features 062"-thick drop tube walls to prevent denting and damage during installation or removal 
  • Is easier to store and ship because of the drop tube’s 3 segments

In addition to sharing product information with booth guests, OPW Retail Fueling will record episodes of its groundbreaking podcast, “The Fueling Station,” at the show.
