2 Installation
2.1 General
Take the following into account when choosing a position for the
tank and the deck filler cap: the filler hose must be as short as pos-
sible, must slope down continuously from the deck cap to the tank
and must be as straight as possible.
Positioning
• Position the tank in such a way that it is readily accessible for in-
spection.
• Also make sure that there is sufficient free space above the tank
for the hose connections.
• These must be easily accessible during fitting. There must be free
space with no bulkheads or other tanks of about 1 cm all round
the tank to allow ventilation.
• Ensure that there is a sufficiently solid foundation for placing and
fixing the tank firmly.
• The size of the tank increases slightly when it is full. Take this
into account when fixing the tank in place.
• Use the fixing straps from the connection kit as these allow the
tank to expand.
Fitting in sailing ships
When fitting remember that the filler hose must always be posi-
tioned on the same side of the ship as the tank.
This prevents too high a pressure from possibly occurring in the tank
when sailing at an angle.
Rigid drinking water tanks 40, 60 - 80 l
N.B. These Vetus rigid plastic drinking water tanks can also be used as
waste water tanks. See the manual for waste water systems for this.
Clean the tank if necessary.
The height difference between the tank and the filler cap may
be a maximum of 2 metres (the maximum excess pressure in the
tank is 20 kPa (0.2 bar)!)
