1. SAFETY CHECKLIST

1.1 Confirm that the product to be stored is compatible with the tank and fittings.

1.2 Do not rigidly pipe tanks. Refer to section 5.3.2 for additional information.

1.3 All tanks must be properly vented. These tanks are not pressure vessels and must be vented to atmosphere. Venting equipment should be sized to limit pressure or vacuum in the tank to a maximum of ½” of water. Review the chemical to see if it can be vented to atmosphere or if it needs treatment prior to venting. Your application may need a sealed tank with a vent line going to a scrubber system for proper chemical safety.

1.4 WARNING: It is the installer's responsibility to follow all appropriate NFPA, OSHA, and governmental safety precautions. The following information has been provided as guidelines for tank use and installation. It does not address safety issues which may be present at specific tank installation sites. Use appropriate safety practices when handling any tank and/or using heavy equipment.

1.5 Prevent excessive heat near or inside the tank. Standard polyethylene tanks are designed for a maximum continuous temperature of 100°F. Consult factory for applications above 100°F.

1.6 Consider tank entry as a confined space entry. Follow proper entry procedures.

1.7 Do not stand or work on top of a tank. Remember – Safety First!

1.8 Read all warning labels on the tank prior to use and installation.

1.9 Record all warranty information as per section 2 while all information is available at time of tank receipt. Please refer to section 10 for warranty and policy statements.
