I am going to try to modify an old pressure tank to work as a "Sediment Bowl Type Tank"(think OLD tractor/lawn mower).
I got a bladder tank that appears to be made of fiberglass and have removed the bladder from it. I will be able to use the existing fitting on the bottom of the tank for the "flush valve", but need to plumb two fittings into the top for the water supply to enter and exit the tank. The tag on the tank says it is rated for 125 PSI.
I need to connect lines (probably 1") to the tank where there currently are no fittings/holes.
What would be the best type/material fittings to use?
How should I attach them to the tank?
Will Auto Body Fiberglass/Resin work with the material the tank is made of?
I need to put the fittings near the top of the tank, but it would be easier to plumb if I put them in the sides near the top, instead of on the top.
Any reason to think one or the other(the side or the top) would be a stronger/better place to put the fittings?
Thanks, Joel
