Installing  the  storage  tank.

4

Local  Installation  Regulations

This  storage  tank  must  be  installed  in  

accordance  with  these  instructions,  

local  or  federal  codes.
If  the  storage  tank  is  to  be  installed  in  

a  restaurant,  or  other  location  where  

NSF  International  listing  is  required,  

it  must  be  weather  sealed  to  the  floor,  

a  raised  base,  or  on  a  shelf  so  that  

seepage  cannot  accumulate  under  it;;  or  

elevated  to  provide  at  least  (6)  inches  

of  clearance  from  the  floor.

In  order  to  meet  NSF  International  

requirements  for  Standard  5,  the  

base  of  the  storage  tank  must  be  

sealed  to  the  floor  to  prevent  seepage  

underneath.    Apply  a  3/8"  bead  of  

RTV  Silicone  completely  around  the  

floor  edge  of  the  base  of  the  tank.

Location

The  location  chosen  for  the  storage  

tank  must  take  into  consideration  

the  following:

Locate  the  storage  tank  in  a  clean  dry  

area  as  near  as  practical  to  the  area  of  

greatest  heated  water  demand.  Long  

un-­insulated  hot  water  lines  can  waste  

energy  and  water.  
The  storage  tank  and  water  lines  

should  be  protected  from  freezing  

temperatures.  Do  not  install  the  

storage  tank  in  outdoor  unprotected  

areas  or  near  any  other  appliances  

where  high  temperatures  are  present,  

such  as  wood  burning  stoves,  boilers,  

or  furnaces.    High  temperatures  can  

warp  or  otherwise  damage  the  non-­

metallic  construction  of  this  storage  

tank.
Make  certain  the  floor  underneath  

the  storage  tank  is  strong  enough  to  

sufficiently  support  the  weight  of  

the  storage  tank  once  it  is  filled  with  

water.
