Water Tank Installation Dubai
The new water tank should be install as shown in the uploaded image.
Our Water Tank Installation Dubai team always make sure that water tank located as high as possible to obtain the best water pressure at the outlets, (i.e. showers, taps, etc.); to achieve the best height possible, it may be necessary to construct a supporting framework to lift the tank.
Water Tank Installation Dubai always advise our clients to build a wooden frame to support water tank entirely. That it can take the weight of the reservoir full of water – (1 litre of water weighs 1 kg, so a 250-litre tank will weigh more than 250 kg when filled).
A plastic or fiber water tank must be attached to a wooden frame base supporting the complete underside on the reservoir; if this does not do, the weight of the water within the tank may cause the plastic to stretch, distort and eventually fail. The old galvanized, and asbestos tanks were far more rigid and did not need to support fully.
The picture above shows stopcocks and gate valves fitted to the inlet and outlets of the tank; older installations may not have these, but when fitting a replacement tank, they should be added if necessary – it will make life much easier when you need to work on another part of the plumbing as the cold tank can be isolated rather than having to be drained down.
The pipe connections to the reservoir are made using tank couplers (shown right), these are fittings with a compression joint at one end of an externally threaded body with a large boss at the other end; a nut and typically two plastic washers fit the threaded body between the joint compression nut and the boss. The compression joint nut, and main nut and a washer are first removed and then the threaded body is passed through a hole made in the wall of the tank from the inside and the nut/washer fitted; as the boss is held in place within the reservoir, the nut on the outside is tightened, and the fitting is pulled tight to the wall of the tank. When fitting the tank couplers, no jointing compounds should be used as they may have a detrimental effect upon the plastic of the tank and could lead to it breaking down.
Once the tank connectors have been fitted, and the tank is in its final position, the pipes can be connected to the compression joint on the outside of the water reservoir.
Fitting the ballcock is straight forward, however a float valve backing plate (just a large metal plate with a hole) must be installed to reduce the flexing of the side of the tank; if the plate is not fitted, the flexing of the wall can lead to water hammer, other noises or possible long term failure of the shell wall.
