Important Notes:

• Flexible connections must be installed between hard piping and tank openings. Failure to install flex connection properly with the vessel will void the warranty.
• These pressure vessels are treated for an internal negative pressure of 5y Hg (17 Pa) vacuum below atmospheric. If negative pressure could ever exceed 5y Hg (17 Pa), an adequate vacuum breaker must also be properly installed. Failure to install flex connection properly, or improper installation of a vacuum breaker when required, may void the warranty.
• Measurements are subject to change without notice and are for reference only.
• Different base options can be selected on different tank diameters. The bases selected in the specifications illustrate most common base selections.
