Installation Best Practices
Guidelines for proper tank receiving, inspection, and installation.
Proper receiving and installation is critical to tank performance and longevity.
Upon Receiving
- Inspect tank for shipping damage before accepting delivery - Document any visible damage with photographs - Report damage to carrier and Tank Systems immediately - Verify all fittings and accessories are included
Site Preparation
- Ensure a level, stable foundation - Foundation should support the full weight of the tank when filled - Allow adequate clearance for maintenance access - Verify compliance with local codes and setback requirements
Installation Guidelines
- Follow manufacturer specifications for support requirements - Elliptical tanks require full-length bottom support - Vertical tanks over a certain height may require seismic restraints - Ensure proper venting per tank specifications - Test all connections before filling
Piping Connections
- Use flexible connections to accommodate tank expansion - Never force rigid piping connections - Support all piping independently from the tank - Use compatible gasket materials
