Instructions for Installation

The tank site must be level and flat, the area well compacted and free from any rocks, stones and sharp objects.

1. Ensure that the tank site is at least 600mm larger in diameter than the tank.
2. Either a 75mm (3”) compacted sand base, or other consolidated fill i.e. crusher dust, may be used as a tank pad. A concrete pad is also acceptable but must be greater than the diameter of the tank.
3. If a compact sand base or other consolidated fill is used, a retaining wall or surround must be provided to prevent erosion.
4. The overflow must be piped well clear of the tank to avoid any undermining of the tank base.
5. Ensure that a flexible hose of at least 300mm (12”) is installed after the tank valve to absorb any shocks or movement.
6. If tank is placed on a stand, support pipework off the stand, never support pipework off the tank.
