Installing the RAIN HARVESTING TATO10 True 90 Degree Tank Overflow Bends correctly ensures efficient water management for your rainwater harvesting system. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
-
Using the Bend to Direct Water Away from Your Overflow:
- Apply PVC solvent glue to the bend and attach it directly to your tank's overflow outlet, angling the bend in the desired direction.
- Depending on the type of your overflow fitting (male or female), you might need an adapter to ensure a secure connection.
- Connect the necessary pipework to the fitting, using PVC solvent glue to create a watertight seal.
-
Using the Bend as a High-Level Overflow:
- Carefully mark the exact center point where the overflow bend will be placed on the tank.
- Using a holesaw that matches the diameter of the bend, drill a clean hole at the marked location. Remove any debris or plastic shavings.
- Insert the TATO10 bend through the hole from the outside, ensuring the bend is facing upwards.
- Apply a generous amount of silicone sealant around the bend where it meets the tank to create a watertight seal and secure it in place.
- Connect the appropriate pipework to the fitting, sealing with PVC solvent glue.
-
Maintenance:
- A properly installed RAIN HARVESTING TATO10 overflow system typically requires minimal maintenance.
