5.3.4 Connection of several tanks
Two or more tanks are connected via the assembly surfaces by means of GRAF special seals and basic
pipes (to be provided at construction site).
The apertures must be drilled to the
corresponding size using only the GRAF
special crown bit. It must be ensured that
the distance between the tanks is at least
600 mm. The pipes must project at least
200 mm into the tanks.
5.4
Insertion and filling
The tanks must be inserted, impact-free,
into the prepared trench using suitable
equipment. The tank is filled with 1/3
water before filling in the tank surrounding.
Afterwards
the
surrounding (roundgrain
gravel, max. grain size 8/16) is then filled
in layers of max. 30 cm steps and is
compacted. The individual layers must be
well-compacted

surrounding must be at least 500 mm
wide.
5.5
Routing connections
All feed and overflow pipes must be routed
with a decline of at least 1% in the direction
of flow (possible, subsequent settling must
be taken into consideration in this case). If
the tank overflow is connected to a public
sewer, this must be protected against reflux
by means of a lifting station (mixed sewer)
