Can I use multiple tanks for fire hydrant storage?

Yes, you can use multiple tanks. Promax offers Dual Tank Fire Service Outlet Kits that allow you to interconnect and draw water from both tanks simultaneously.

Fire service kits are essential for connecting tanks to fire hoses. Fire service kits allow for easy access to tank water and ensure an even and high-pressure flow. The kit is the connection between a tank and a hose, and usually consists of a 100mm fire coupling adaptor, a fire coupling support, a brass gate valve, and a tank fitting. Any kit of this nature must be a Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ) Approved Fire Coupling for compliance, functionality and safety. Promax Fire service kits vary according to how the tanks are set up at a particular property. For example, a standard fire kit will connect to one above ground tank. Meanwhile, if two above ground tanks are interconnected and water is drawn from both tanks at the same time, it is possible to buy a dual fire outlet kit; as two tanks are often required to reach the minimum capacity of 45,000 litres, a dual kit is a popular option.

All standard Promax ENDURO and XPRESS large tanks are perfect for domestic fire hydrant storage. While 45,000 LTRs is the general minimum requirement for domestic hydrant storage, your local council may have specific requirements. Note for commercial hydrant storage, you may require additional industrial components for compliance. Check with our team if you are needing commercial hydrant storage.

Yes, a Wallace Seal can be used to seal the pipe to the tank. It is important to note that a Wallace Seal, not a Uniseal, should be used as it has a deeper throat to seal inside the corrugation and is more malleable. We recommend installing the seal no more than 500mm down the side wall of the tank.

Seismic restraints add another layer of safety by acting as a set of anchors for large industrial storage tanks. A series of restraints around the tank's base are bolted into a concrete pad to hold the tank in place and prevent movement during an earthquake or other events, including cyclones and floods. A poly tank set solid and immovable at the base, and with flexibility and durability throughout the rest of the structure, appeals as the safest and most robust option for liquid storage.  Click here to learn more about Seismic restraints.
