About this detail

An underground or enclosed 60,000-gallon single-wall fiberglass-reinforced plastic tank is secured to a concrete foundation and deadman system using hold-down straps and turnbuckle assemblies. Access is provided via a thirty-inch manway with a hinged and lockable cover along with an NSF-approved fiberglass-reinforced plastic ladder. The tank includes a twelve-inch vent with an air filter, a four-inch auxiliary fill with a vandal-proof lock connection, a six-inch flanged inlet, and a ten-inch full-bottom drain flanged outlet with an anti-vortex plate. A six-inch tank fill valve from Clayton Valve Company or equal is paired with a hydraulic remote valve actuator. Levels and alarm monitoring equipment signal directly to the hospital, with a capped connection provided for future phasing at the moat wall.
