I'm about to install my water tank and I'm looking for guidance. My tank (15 gallon 8x16x30) will be mounted standing up, bolted to the side of the van and floor, just aft of the wheel well. My questions are about filling/venting/and plumbing it.
The tank has two threaded recessed knockouts (1/2" female), one on the top and one on the bottom. There is a ~1" non-threaded spot on the top as well. I plan on attaching flexible hose on the bottom knockout and running that line to my pump. I assume the non-threaded spout is for filling.
1. I would be interested in knowing what methods/fittings people use to fill these tanks - how do you ensure water doesn't splash out while in motion?
2. Is a pressure relief valve needed on top of the tank, perhaps utilizing the other threaded female 1/2" knockout?
Thanks
