water and resistant to a temperature of at least 60 degrees C
and a pressure of 4 bar (4 kgf/cm
Vetus supplies a hose suitable for tap water. It is tasteless, non-

Fit each hose connection with a good hose clamp.
Fit filler cap A.
Install a filler hose B, 8 mm (1
the filler cap and the tank. Instal this hose in such a way that
neither tank nor filler cap are subject to mechanical loads.
Fit air-relief nipple C as high as possible above the level of the
top of the tank. Ensure that the air-relief nipple is fitted where it
cannot fill with rain or other water.
Fit air-relief pipe D, 16 mm (
air-relief nipple and the tank.
When viewed from the tank, the air-relief pipe should be fitted
straight up.
Fit the tap water supply pipe E, 16 mm (
between tank and pump. A non-priming pump should be lower
than, or at the same height as the underside of the tank. A self-
priming pump can be mounted at any height in relation to the
tank.
Connect 2 tanks together using T-pieces in the water supply
