[dotto]

Hi guys.

when cwsc and f&e tank are not right above the cylinder, is it possible to run primary and secondary vent pipes with a few bends before ending up over their respective cisterns? Thank you 4 your time

Yes provided it rises continuously.

And they are called Tanks not cisterns.

Storage Tank.

Header Tank.

Hi doitall and thanx 4 answering.

What do u mean rises continuously? Do u mean we are allowed to put bends in pipe runs provided they are not 90 degree ones? Thanx 4 clarifying this point.

you can use 90 bends etc but the pipe needs to continuously rise to the tank as air rises etc.

Ah young grasshopper they teach you nothing these days. The correct term is indeed cistern. From the latin I believe cisterna.

I was taught that a Tank is a sealed vessel, whereas a Cistern is open to atmosphere.
