back for assembly into the bezel. The bezel shall be die cast aluminum construction and color coded on
all visible surfaces with an automotive grade paint. 3M VHB adhesive shall be applied to the back.
WATER TANK
The apparatus shall be equipped with a United Plastic Fabricating 1000 U.S. gallon rectangular water
tank. Certification of the tank capacity shall be recorded on the manufacturer's record of construction and
shall be provided to the purchaser upon delivery of the apparatus. The UPF® water tank shall be
constructed of 1/2" thick PT2E™ polypropylene sheet stock. This material shall be a non-corrosive stress
relieved thermoplastic, black in color, and U.V. stabilized for maximum protection.
BOOSTER TANK
The booster tank shall be of a specific configuration and shall be so designed to be completely
independent of the body and compartments. All joints and seams shall be nitrogen welded and tested for
maximum strength and integrity. The top of the booster tank shall be fitted with removable lifting eyes
designed with a 3 to 1 safety factor to facilitate easy removal.
TANK BAFFLES
The transverse swash partitions shall be manufactured of 3/8" PT2E™ polypropylene (natural in color)
and extend from approximately 4" off the floor to just under the cover. The longitudinal swash partitions
shall be constructed of 3/8" PT2E polypropylene (natural in color) and extend to the floor of the tank
through the cover to allow for positive welding and maximum integrity. All partitions shall be equipped with
vent and air holes to permit movement of air and water between compartments. The partitions shall be
designed to provide maximum water flow. All swash partitions shall interlock with one another and be
welded to each other as well as to the walls of the tank.
TANK SUMP
There shall be one (1) sump in the bottom of the water tank. The sump shall be constructed of 1/2"
polypropylene and shall be located in the left front quarter of the tank. On all tanks that require a front
suction, a 4" schedule 40 polypropylene pipe shall be installed that will incorporate a dip tube from the
front of the tank to the sump location. The sump shall be used as a combination clean-out and drain. All
tanks shall have an anti-swirl plate located approximately 2" above the sump to pre-vent air from being
entrained in the water while pumping.
TANK FILL CONNECTION
All tank fill couplings shall be backed with flow deflectors to break up the stream of water entering the
tank, and shall be capable of withstanding sustained fill rates of up to 1,000 GPM.
TANK LID
The tank lid shall be constructed of 1/2" thick PT2E™ polypropylene to incorporate a multi three-piece
locking design that allows for individual removal and inspection if necessary. The tank lid shall be
recessed 3/8" from the top of the tank and shall be welded to both sides and longitudinal partitions for
maximum integrity. Each one of the lids shall have hold downs consisting of 2" polypropylene dowels
spaced a maximum of 30" apart. These dowels shall extend through the covers and shall assist in
