But if you can pull it off, you just run a line up the inside of the tank and fill from the top. When they feed from the side, it's usually a line runs up and again fills from the top.

For the exposed pipe it will most likely need to be insulated (or heat traced) unless they plan on building a heated space around the tank. If it is an existing tank, you might be able to get cut sheets from the manufacturer if you can get a model number somewhere on the tank. If it is a new tank, then it should be easier to find cut sheets from whoever ordered it/ is installing it. Most larger tanks I have seen are top fed. AUGUST HOFFMAN CET From: Brian Harris <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Sent: Tuesday, July 11, 2023 12:43 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [Sprinklerforum] Storage Tank Might be a silly question but when using a storage tank for a pump where is the tank fill located? Top, Bottom, Side, etc. This is in an area where it does get cold enough to freeze so I'm wondering if it can be filled from under the tank. The city supply psi will overcome the head pressure in the tank so technically it would work.
