5. TANK INSTALLATION
The lifting stations of the Fekabox – Fekafos series have various inlet and outlet possibilities for the pipes.
Depending on the type of installation and on the local standards in force it may be necessary to provide a
siphon, a non-return valve on the pipe connecting to the public/private sewer network or to other ducts.
Always refer to the local and/or national regulations, laws and standards in force. Anyway it is recommended
to install check valves and interception valves upstream and downstream from the station. An example of
installation is shown in chapter 4.
All the ducts must be installed in such a way that they are not stressed. The ducts must not
exert stress on the station. Check that the electropump is securely fixed to the pipes and that
all the hydraulic connections are tightened and watertight.
Where necessary provide suitable means for avoiding the transmission of vibrations and for protecting the
pipes against the formation of ice.
5.1 Placing the tank inside the building
The tank may be laid on the floor, under the ground or housed in a masonry pit. Fig.2, Fig.3
In any case the surface on which it is laid must be perfectly horizontal and it must be ensured that
the whole bottom of the tank is in contact with the surface.
For Fekabox 200 l, Fekabox 280 and Fekabox 550 Double l the cover of the tank is trafficable
(max. weight 100 Kg, see fig. 1).
In indoor installations (garage, basement, technical room), the tank must be fixed to the
ground using the slots provided to prevent rotations, as indicated in figure 4.
Leave a free space of at least 60 cm around and above the station for installation and
maintenance.
5.2 Placing the tank outside the building
If the tank would not buried, to prevent damage to itself and to the seals, you should not expose it to heat
sources such as direct sunlight can be at certain times of the year.
Do not position the lifting station directly on the ground. The site chosen must not have ground
water and must not be subject to flooding. Suitable anchor the station so as to avoid rotation
and floating. For this you can use the slots on the base of the tank.
There must be a horizontal base suitable to bear the weight of the station during its operation.
Depending on the characteristics of the terrain it may be necessary to create walls with bricks,
prefabricated components or concrete. Fill the space between the ditch and the station with
sand and compact it suitably. Protect the station suitably against frost.
