6 Installation
6.1 Choose a location for the VHT
The VHT 5200 series tank is specially shaped to install against the hull just outboard of a boat’s head
compartment . Follow these criteria when determining a location:
1 . The inlet fitting (fig .
1 A, p . 2) must be no more than 20 ft . (6 .1 m) horizontally from, and no more
than 5 ft . (1 .5 m) above, the toilet discharge fitting . (The closer the VHT is located to the toilet, the
better the system efficiency) .
2 . The VHT must be installed vertically .
3 . Install VHT where access to discharge ball valve is available or can be created (with removable
access panel or door) .
4. Do not expose VHT to temperatures above 120° F (49° C). Do not place VHT near heat sources
such as engine manifolds, water heaters, generators, etc. Allow free air flow around VHT.
6.2 Install VHT on mounting surface
Bottom mounting surface must support the entire bottom of the tank . If a mounting surface needs
to be fabricated, use marine grade plywood at least 0 .5 in . / 13 mm thick .
Note
Fasteners (lag bolts, screws, washers, etc .) and restraining straps are not supplied with
vacuum holding tank .
