Custom Air Gap Fabrication in London, KY – Water Fill Station for Ranger Trucks

Reliable water systems are critical for service vehicles, especially when filling tanks in the field. We recently completed a custom air gap fabrication for a water fill station in London, Kentucky, designed for use by ranger trucks to ensure safe and compliant water transfer.

At McCarty Fabrication, we build custom metal components and welded assemblies in Corbin, London, and across Laurel County, KY, tailored to real-world use and demanding environments.

The Project: Air Gap for Water Fill Station

This job involved fabricating a custom air gap assembly for a truck water fill area at the London ranger station.

Air gaps are an important part of any water system because they:

• Prevent backflow contamination

• Protect potable water sources

• Ensure compliance with water safety standards

This unit needed to be durable, properly sized, and built to handle repeated daily use.

Fabrication Process

This was a fully custom build, fabricated in-house to meet the needs of the application.

Material & Components

• Heavy wall stainless steel pipe

• Formed reducer section for proper flow transition

• Threaded top connection for integration into existing system

• Reinforced supports for added strength

Welding & Assembly

• Components were fit and aligned carefully before welding

• Welded using proper technique to ensure full penetration and strength

• Assembly designed to handle vibration, use, and environmental exposure

The reducer section was blended into the pipe to create a smooth transition while maintaining strength at the weld joint.

Built for Real-World Use

Unlike off-the-shelf parts, this air gap was built specifically for:

• Truck fill operations

• Frequent use and handling

• Outdoor conditions

• Long-term durability

Custom fabrication ensures the part actually fits the job and holds up over time.
