Installation
General
Take the following into account when choosing a position for the
tank and the deck filler cap: the filler hose must be as short as
possible, must slope down continuously from the deck cap to
the tank and must be as straight as possible. There must be
sufficient ventilation in the space in which the tank is positioned.
The height difference between the tank and the filler cap may
a maximum of 2 metres (6'8") (the maximum excess pressure
in the tank is 0.2 bar ( 3 psi )!)
Tank fittings
Spare parts (supplied with the tank) The in-
spection cover with packing ring is already fit-
ted in the tank.
Fitting spanner
Position the fitting using the spanner supplied.
Never use a pipe wrench.
Suction pipe
The suction pipe with right-angled fitting is
also already fitted in the tank.
Float for a tank contents meter
The tank is prepared ready for rapid fitting
of a float connected to a tank contents
meter with SAE cartridge (see page 9 for
a summary of float and meters).
Fitting the filler pipe
A hole ø 42 mm (1 / ) is already made in the tank for the input of

waste water (4). See page 9 for the correct fitting for the chosen
filler pipe diameter. See the drawings on page 28 for the main
dimensions of the fittings.

Positioning
Position the tank in such a
way that it is readily accessi-
ble for inspection. Also make
sure that there is sufficient
free space above the tank
for the hose connections.
These must be easily ac-
cessible during fitting. There
must be free space with no
bulkheads or other tanks of
about 1 cm ( / " )all round

the tank to allow ventilation.
Ensure that there is a suf-
ficiently solid foundation for
placing and fixing the tank
firmly.
The size of a tank increa-
ses slightly when it is full.
Take this into account when
fixing the tank in place.
Fitting in sailing ships
When fitting remember that the fil-
ler hose must always be positioned
on the same side of the ship as the
tank.
This prevents too high a pressure
from possibly occurring in the tank
when sailing at an angle.
