5 Installation
In the interior area, an acid cleaning treatment is recommended after the welding.
The surface of accessible points can be improved by grinding.
The exterior can be treated afterwards by staining, brushing, grinding and polishing.
After welding, the combination vessel connector can be ground with the interior wall of the container

5. Take the retractor system out of the packaging and perform a visual inspection for damage.
Ensure that the O-ring that seals the hydraulic pipe of the TANKO-RT from the combination vessel
connector is not damaged and store it safely.
6. Check the sealing surfaces in the combination vessel connector for contaminations.
Keep the O-ring, O-ring groove and interior plant surface in the combination vessel connector clean.
Place the O-ring correctly into the O-ring groove of the hydraulic pipe.
The contact surfaces of the clamp connection between combination vessel connector and retractor
system (hydraulic pipe) must be kept clean.

7. Carefully push the retractor system into the combination vessel connector until the liner of the
combination vessel connector is inserted into the groove in the clamp flange on the retractor system
(centering).
The two clamp flanges are tightened as far as they go with the aid of the clamp bracket.
The O-ring (on the outside of the hydraulic pipe) seals the retractor system from the inside of the
combination vessel connector and thus from the container.
The clamp flange is only used to secure the TANKO-RT and has no sealing function.
