Base Requirements:
· Ensure that the base of the cistern is adequately and uniformly supported over its entire base
· Support and align the pipes so as not to distort the cistern, and do not over tighten the back nuts.
· Ensure that circular holes for fixing pipes have a clean edge, free from notches, and cut them with a hole saw or drill them with a sharp cutter.
· Ensure that cistern is not positioned in close proximity to any source of heat.
· The tank should not be left unattended during commissioning.
· Check that internal steel stays are in place.
· Adequate overflows should be fitted to prevent the tank from being pressurised.
· Tanks in exposed places may be susceptible to movement in high winds, especially when empty.
