Installing the Rain Harvesting TATO31 Flanged Tank Overflow Kit High Volume involves a few key steps to ensure optimal performance. Here's a straightforward guide:

1. Tools and Materials You'll Need: Gather these items: a marker pen, holesaw, drill, screwdriver, sealant, and solvent weld glue.

2. Cutting the Tank Hole:

   • If your tank doesn't have an existing overflow hole, use the tank overflow outlet as a template. Mark the size of the hole needed on your tank.
   • Use a holesaw to cut the hole in the side of your tank.
   • Position the hole so the top of the outlet sits lower than the bottom of the tank inlet and/or tank inlet screen.

3. Fitting the Overflow Kit:

   • Make sure the gasket is firmly fitted around the tank overflow fitting.
   • Push the fitting into the hole, inside the tank, with the bend facing upwards.
   • If the bend's open end sits above the tank inlet and/or inlet screen, angle the bend diagonally or trim the overflow's top.

4. Securing the Overflow Outlet:

   • Hold the overflow outlet in place while securing it.
   • Apply even pressure while tightening the screws, alternating between sides. Don't fully tighten until all screws are in.
   • Avoid overtightening the gasket.

5. Installing the Mozzie Stoppa Hinged:

   • Position the Mozzie Stoppa Hinged with the screen facing up.
   • Use solvent weld glue to attach it to your overflow outlet.

6. Maintenance:

   • Regularly clean the Mozzie Stoppa to keep the mosquito-proof screen free of debris.
   • To clean, unlatch the hinged screen, hose or brush it, and firmly relatch it.

Following these steps will help you properly install and maintain your Rain Harvesting TATO31 Flanged Tank Overflow Kit High Volume, ensuring efficient water management.
