It
is very important to be as precise as possible when
specifying tank fittings and accessories. Location,
type and size of fittings must be noted clearly on your
drawing. If more then one fitting is being specified,
mark each fitting with a letter A, B, C, etc. Dimensional
drawings are available for all tanks. Print blanks,
draw fittings and fax with your order number to 1-631-563-2546

Example:
Fitting “A” is at 90°, 48” up
from bottom; Fitting “B” is at 180°,
30” up from bottom; Fitting “C” is
at
270°, 20” up from bottom.
NOTE: Use a dotted circle to indicate fittings
which are on the opposite side of the elevation
drawing (see fitting “B”)
Most Tank Depot vertical bulk storage tanks have
8” x 8” flat sections at least every 90°degrees
along the circumference at the bottom of the side.
These flats are ideal locations for bulk head type
fittings. |
