answer30"
normal tank vent should extend not less then? - answer12' above the general grade
level and be located at least 5 feet from building openings. emergency vents may

outside the tank perimeter and at least 18" lower than the tank bottom. Anodes may be
placed horizontally or vertically. - answerplace anodes 3 to 5 feet from piping and 2 to 3
feet below grade but outside of the piping trench in native soil.
If lifting a tank make sure that the angle between the chain and vertical does not exceed
30 degrees - answer
galvanic anode installation. - answerremove and discard any waterproof packaging and
inspect the anodes for shipping and and handling damage. verify anode is centered in
the prepackaged low-resistivity backfill material. test the electrical continuity of the
anode and attached lead wire without damaging the packing material.
Backfill anodes with compacted native soil and soak them with 3 to 5 gallons of water a
minimum of 2 and anodes should be installed. - answer
