Installation and assembly
5.4 Routing
connections
All connections are to be attached beneath the
tank dome in order to ensure that the maximum
water level in the tank lies beneath the tank/tank
dome connection.
Attention:
Please only use food safe materials
(e.g. PE threaded connections) for the
assembly of the connections).
6.1
Assembling the tank dome
Prior to assembly, the enclosed seal is locked
onto the tank neck’s profile „B“. The tank dome is
then locked to the tank neck. It is essential to
make sure that the upper seal "A" (pre-
assembled) is correctly installed.
6.2
Assembling the drinking water telescopic dome
shaft
The telescopic dome shaft enables infinite adaptation of
the tank to given site surfaces with earth coverage of
between 750 mm and 1050 mm.
For assembly purposes, the enclosed profile seal
(material EPDM) is inserted into the tank dome's sealing
groove and is coated generously with soft soap (do not
use mineral oil-based lubricants, as these attack the
seal). The telescope is then greased, inserted and
aligned with the surface of the site.
6.3
Telescopic dome shaft on which persons may
walk
Important:
To prevent loads from being transferred onto the
tank, round-grain gravel
(max. grain size 8/16) is filled in
layers around the telescope
and is evenly compacted.
Damage to the tank dome
and telescope must be avoided
during this step. The cover is then positioned and is sealed to
prevent entry by children.
Tighten the threaded connection on
the cover so tightly that it cannot be opened by a child!
