It is very important to be as precise as possible when specifying tank fittings and accessories. Location, type and size of fittings must be noted clearly on your drawing. If more then one fitting is being specified, mark each fitting with a letter A, B, C, etc. Dimensional drawings are available for all tanks. Print blanks, draw fittings and fax with your order number to 1-631-563-2546

Vertical Bulk Storage Tanks
Plan View – Calibration strip is at 0 degrees, in line with manway. Specify in degrees from 0 the location of fittings.	Elevation View – Indicate in inches the height from the center of the fitting to the floor.
Example: Fitting “A” is at 90°, 48” up from bottom; Fitting “B” is at 180°, 30” up from bottom; Fitting “C” is at 270°, 20” up from bottom. NOTE: Use a dotted circle to indicate fittings which are on the opposite side of the elevation drawing (see fitting “B”) Most Tank Depot vertical bulk storage tanks have 8” x 8” flat sections at least every 90°degrees along the circumference at the bottom of the side. These flats are ideal locations for bulk head type fittings.

Horizontal Tanks
End View Round Horizontal	End View Leg Horizontal	Side View
Drain Fittings are generally located in one of the ends of the tank, close to the bottom. Indicate in inches any fitting(s) that are required in the top of the tank.

Cylindrical Open Top Tanks
Plan View – If more than one fitting is being specified, indicate in degrees the location of the fittings.	Elevation View – Indicate in inches the height from center of the fitting to the floor.
Example: Fitting “A” is at 180°, 15” up from bottom; fitting “B” is at 270°, 30” up from bottom. NOTE 1: Use a dotted circle to indicate fittings which are on opposite side of the elevation drawing (see fitting “A”) NOTE 2: Never include tank flange in your measurements.

Rectangular Tanks
Indicate width, length and height of tank using inches.
Plan View – Indicate in inches the distance from edge of tank.	Elevation View – Indicate in inches the height from the center of the fitting to the floor.
Example: 24” x 36” x 36” HT. Fitting is 18” in from side along the 36” wall, 18” up from floor. NOTE: NEVER INCLUDE TANK FLANGE IN YOUR MEASUREMENTS.

Cylindrical Cone Bottom Tanks
Plan View – If more than one fitting is being specified, indicate in degrees the location of the fittings.	Elevation View – Indicate in inches the height from the bottom of the straight side to the center of the fitting. Do not include the cone. Stands have a lip 1”-6” high. Consult sales office for minimum height of side fittings.
Example: Fitting “A” is at 0°, 15” up the straight side; fitting “B” is at 90°, 20” up from straight side; “C” is in cone flat.
