 FITTING
THE CONNECTIONSThe technique of storing and transporting liquids through the use of flexible tanks has many advantages :  Fitting of
the connection is generally made on the same side of the tankThe position
of the nipple will be so that there will be a minimum margin of 100
mm between the connection
and the edges of the tankUse the washer
(see drawing) to mark out the circumference of the hole to be made in
the support. Its dimension
must be the one of the washer insideThen cut with
scissors the marked out hole and take care to separate the two walls
of the tank in order
to avoid to damage the opposite wall when cutting. it is also necessary
to take care not to
make a hole of a bigger diameter then the one made in ref. 2Bring the
edges of the hole nearer by pinching the fabric and introduce the base
of the nipple as a
button in a button-hole Place the
washer with the edge on fabric side (in order to ensure the imperviousness)
and then the screw
ringTighten the
ring with the wrenchCheck the
tightening periodically and in particular some days after the fitting

| INSTALLATION
TIPS It is advisable to install your NAUTA® flexible tank in a small “berth” which will help to insure its protection against sharp objects. This berth prevents abnormal wearing from abrasion. Figure hose lengths with tank empty, and allow sufficient slack. MAINTENANCENAUTA® flexible tanks used for drinking water will operate more satisfactory if the following procedures are observed. Before using for the first time, partly fill the tank with warm water (50°c) and a 1% solution of mild detergent. After a few minutes, rinse with clear water and fill it again with water treated with chlorine tablets (follow package instructions for a 5% concentration). Empty after 2 hours and carefully and thoroughly rinse with clear water. These cleaning procedures should be performed with the system fully installed so that all the piping undergoes the same treatment. When not using the tank for an extended period of time (winter layup…),
keep it partly filled with water and 10% of chlorine solution. Because
it is not possible to completely evacuate the tank, this procedure best
prevents the development of micro-organisms which could coat the inside
and contribute to a bad taste in water. |
