Tank Connections
Connect the tank up with good quality reinforced hose. Avoid
sharp kinks in the hose and ensure there is sufficient play to fol-
low the movement of the tank, from empty to full.
The reinforced hose must be of quality suitable for drinking
water and resistant to a temperature of at least 60 degrees C
(140 degrees F)and a pressure of 4 bar (4 kgf/cm
2,
28 psi).
Vetus supplies a hose suitable for tap water. It is tasteless, non-
poisonous, resistant to temperatures from -5 to +65 degrees C
(+23 to 149°F) and has a working pressure of 15 bar - 16 mm
dia. (218 psi -

DWHOSE16, drinking water hose, 16 mm.internal diameter, and
DWHOSE38, drinking water hose, 38 mm. internal diameter.
Fit each hose connection with a good hose clamp.
Fit filler cap A.
Install a filler hose B, 38 mm. internal diameter, between the
filler cap and the tank. Instal this hose in such a way that the
filler cap is not subject to mechanical loads and the hose can
follow the movement of the tank.
Fit the tap water supply pipe C, 16 mm.internal diameter,
between tank and pump. A non-priming pump should be lower
than, or at the same height as the underside of the tank. A self-
priming pump can be mounted at any height in relation to the
tank.
