GUIDELINES FOR FACTORY-INSTALLED FITTINGS
Before ordering a FABCO Tank with factory installed welded fi ttings, consider:
space constraints, tank elevation, whether indoor or outdoor use, location,
building codes, safety regulations, piping and all other equipment that will be
attached to the tank.
1. When a fi tting is welded onto the side of a tank that is not elevated, complete
drainage is impossible. This applies to fl anges, spigots, and bulkheads.
Specify that the fi tting’s centreline must be as close as possible to the bottom
of the tank. For maximum drainage, see descriptions below.
2. Fittings welded to tank bottoms will drain to within 1/8 in. of the bottom
(bulkheads vary by size). The tank’s foundation must have a cut-out or channel
for the fi tting and its piping.
3. When tanks are elevated, welded fi ttings can be installed low on the tank
wall, providing drainage to within 1/4 in. of the bottom (bulkheads vary with
size). The bulkhead must not interfere with the support.
4. Welded fi ttings are not fl ush with tank bottom. This prevents
complete drainage.
How To Specify Fittings And Their Locations
When you order factory-installed fi ttings on your FABCO
Tanks, you must provide detailed installation information.
You must provide Fabco with:
1. The catalogue number for each fi tting.
2. The catalogue number for each tank.
3. Two complete views of each tank with its fi tting(s). Large
clear, freehand drawings - as shown - are acceptable.
NOTE: On cylindrical tanks, fi ttings will be installed 6 inches to
the left of the calibration marks, unless otherwise specifi ed.
On conical-bottom tanks, fi ttings will be center-bottom drains
installed at the cone tip, unless otherwise specifi ed.
