Question 1

Can this tank be standing up with outlet facing down ?

Accepted Answer

You would have to drill holes in whatever you were going to set the tank on to allow for the fitting to go through and you will need to brace the tank.I can only verify information for the water tanks classAcustoms sells.Item is made from DOWTM DPDA-3135 NT 7 Medium Density Polyethylene (MDPE) Resin that is Long term UV-8 stabilization. For more information go to classAcustoms blog and search water tank information.Tank will need to be properly vented and braced.Non-Pressurized Tank - you will need to vent this tank to use it. Do not hook garden hose to tank.Tank will need to sit on a level surface and be braced.Do not place weight on tank.Includes 4 fittings built into the tank - ALL fittings are on one side:Two) 1 1/2" Dia screw in balloon fittings (threaded female - NPT Standard) The fitting will be closed off an can be used or left as is. To use the fitting simply trim out the inside piece.Two) 1/2" Dia screw in fittings (threaded female - NPT Standard)Measurements for Tank: (+/- .25" on each measurement):42 1/2" Longest Length (not including fittings) x 14" x 18" (rotate the tank to change height or width)Average thickness: 7/32" +/-

Question 3

what is the thickness of material used, and the warranty period?

Accepted Answer

These are not tanks you can pressurize you would want a metal tank.This style of water tank must be vented allowing air to move in and out when filling and emptying the tank.You should NOT fill the tank from a direct city line (garden hose), this is not a safe option and could explode the tank causing serious damage.You will need to leave one fitting free to allow air to go out of the tank when being filled with water and air to go into the tank when being emptied of water. The easiest method is to use an outside fill dish.All tanks will vary on thickness but on average these are .219 or 7/32" thick. The tanks will need to be braced and sit on a flat surface. Tanks should not have anything set on top of them

Question 4

I see two ports in the top, are these meant to be cut out as fill ports?

Accepted Answer

Two) 1 1/2" Dia screw in balloon fittings (threaded female - NPT Standard The fitting will be closed off an can be used or left as is. To use the fitting simply trim out the inside piece.)Two) 1/2" Dia screw in fittings (threaded female - NPT Standard - The small hex head is a temporary fitting that is put into the tank during testing to check if the tank is water tight, we don't recommend keeping these in but if you do be sure to use a food safe pipe dope to keep them from leaking.)This style of water tank must be vented allowing air to move in and out when filling and emptying the tank.You should NOT fill the tank from a direct city line (garden hose), this is not a safe option and could explode the tank causing serious damage.You will need to leave one fitting free to allow air to go out of the tank when being filled with water and air to go into the tank when being emptied of water. The easiest method is to use an outside fill dish.You will use one fitting for water to flow in (from fill dish) and one fitting for water to flow out (to sink) and one fitting to vent the tank. Have a certified technician install all parts to prevent product damage and personal injury.
