DRINKING WATER TANK - ASSEMBLY OF CONNECTION SPIGOTS IN TANKS

Drinking water tanks are manufactured using the rotational molding technology, which allows the production of tanks as a whole, without the need to weld individual elements together, which has a positive effect on the mechanical strength of the tank. Polyethylene tanks are lighter than their steel or resin counterparts. Tanks made of non-toxic polyethylene, are perfect for storing food liquids as well as for storing technical substances used in various production processes. The polyethylene material prevents the growth of algae by being impervious to sunlight. The tank is resistant to temperatures from -20 to +80 ° C.

The proposed tanks are perfect for:

• storage of drinking water or other liquids intended for food, both inside and outside buildings,

• construction of buffer tanks to be used in the event of pressure drop or water shortage,

• creating a supply of water used for firefighting purposes, for washing or washing up,

• water supply in case of water shortages on distribution vehicles,

• collection and use of rainwater that may be used for irrigation or flushing toilets, etc.

Installation of connection spigots

The polyethylene tanks have a polypropylene cover with a vent with an anti-fungal cover and threaded connections. At the customer's request, it is possible to make additional inlet and outlet openings. Below, I present how to properly install the connection spigots.

1) Prepare the bore

The hole for the spigot should be drilled with a hole saw in the center of the flat surface at the bottom of the tank, approx. 10 cm above its bottom. The diameter of the hole should be equal to the diameter of the stub pipe.

2) Assembly of the spigot

Put the gasket on the spigot, and then, from the inside of the tank, put it through the previously drilled hole. In case of problems with the ratio, the socket can be slightly knocked in with a rubber mallet. Place the second gasket and nut on the stub protruding from the tank.

3) Tightening the spigot

Tighten the nut completely, e.g. with a pipe chain wrench. Then clean the tank and the connector from the chips formed during assembly.

All tanks have the necessary approvals and certificates allowing the tanks to come into contact with food products.
