RAIN HARVESTING TATO10 True 90 Degree Tank Overflow Bends Installation Guide

RAIN HARVESTING TATO10 True 90 Degree Tank Overflow Bends

Product Information: Bends

The Bends are designed to be fitted directly into pipework around the inlet or overflow of your tank. These bends allow pipes to be installed perfectly perpendicular or parallel to each other or the tank wall. The product is available in two codes, TATO10 and TATO19, with sizes of 90mm and 100mm for both Australia and New Zealand.

Installation

90° TANK OVERFLOW BENDS

Using the bend to direct water away from your overflow
Simply use PVC solvent glue to glue the bend directly to your overflow in the direction required. Depending on whether your overflow has a male (spigot) or female (socket) fitting, you may require an adaptor. Then glue in pipework onto the fitting as required.

Using the bend as a high level overflow
Note that we also have a range of overflows with flanges which are better suited to be used as an overflow if you prefer to use this style.

1. Mark the centerpoint of where the overflow will sit.
2. Use a holesaw with the same diameter as the bend to drill a hole in the tank. Remove any swarf or flashing from the hole.
3. Insert the bend through the hole, facing the bend upwards.
4. Silicon around the bend as required to secure it in place. Then glue in pipework onto the fitting as required.

TRUE 90° BEND
For 100mm overflows, no “kick” with the standard 88° bend (standard 100mm bends are not available in 90°). Overflow pipework will look aesthetically pleasing.
