New gaskets are more substantial and seem to have carbon or graphite added.
Tanks when they were first slid into garage area. The 1/2" X 2' pipe on right end will be for sensor wells. Once the tanks are insulated any excess 1/2" pipe will be cut off. The 1.5" pipe in the center of the tank goes to a 2" dip tube to bottom of tank with a baffle so the water stays along bottom of tank.
Cool inlet / outlet has 3/4" ball valve for filling. 007 circulator to help get water back to Tarm. On the top I installed a bypass line. I was thinking that this will help with adding chemicals. You can isolate tanks from boiler and zones. Drain an appropriate amount of water from tanks, open diverter valve, turn circulator on and introduce chemicals through 3/4" ball valve. This is a little extra but the rest of my equipment is in a finished basement so with this set up I can get 1000G treated and open it up to the rest of the system, any mess stays in my garage.
Support frame added after tanks and piping were in place.
Top of tanks 30 PSI relief valve and hot water inlet / outlet.
Tomorrow I'm spraying 1" of Dow's closed cell Froth Pack. I'm planning to cover most all of the surface area except where welding and pipe fitting were done. Lastly I'll be sliding the 100G expansion tank in front of the supply and return pipes.
Hopefully we'll have some hot water stored by the end of the weekend. ( then the controls......)
Little by slow.....
Thanks to all of the previous posts that people have contributed to this forum that guided my design.
