Enduramaxx’s 172206CAT5 1,500 Litre Fluid CAT5 Type AB Air Gap Break Tank is constructed from the MDPE polyethene which is UV stabilised. This tank is a one-piece, seamless, rotationally moulded tank which guarantees strength, impacts resistance, durability and many years of use. This arrangement of fittings for compliance with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 in England and Wales and the technically identical Scottish Water Byelaws 2004.
Enduramaxx’s 1,500 litre Fluid Category 5 Break Tank is fitted with a Type AB-Air gap weir overflow for complying with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999. The weir overflow (Fluid 5) is non-mechanical backflow prevention for inlets options up to 32mm and up to 50mm. Many water authorities demand that water storage tanks connected to the mains water supply have suitable measures to protect the mains from contamination. The AB Airgap is designed to prevent the inlet to become submerged and stop the water within the tank from contaminating the mains water supply should there be a backflow pressure drop in the mains.
This break tank is fitted with a cowled screened overflow to prevent the ingress of light into the tank and a stainless steel mesh to prevent the debris from getting into the tank. Larger weirs can be specially made for larger inlets. This break tank meets the requirements of WRAS Fluid Category 5 Break Tanks, also known as a Fluid Cat 5 break tank, Fluid Cat 5 tank and Fluid Cat 5 booster set tanks.
