1. On inlet side of tank base t Inlet T-Junction. Apply silicone sealer to the ange of the T-Junction and secure with supplied four (4) stainless steel self-tapping
screws. (Fig 4 shown for 3200L)
RELN Septic Tanks and Holding Tanks are to be installed, by a licensed plumber, as per these instructions and local authority requirements.
2. On outlet side of tank base t Outlet T-Junction. Apply silicone sealer to the ange of the T-Junction and secure with supplied four (4) stainless steel
self-tapping screws. (Fig 5 shown for 4000L)
RELN Septic Tanks and Holding Tanks are supplied with inlet and outlet holes drilled to the required location.
RELN Septic Tanks and Holding Tanks are approved to the requirements of the Australian Standard AS/NZS1546.1:2008 On-site domestic wastewater treatment
units Septic tanks. Lic SMK1651

1. Connect 100mm PVC sewer pipe into Inlet T-Junction. Glue inlet pipe to T-Junction with PVC plumbers glue.
Approvals and additional information on Septic Tank operation and maintenance can be obtained from www.reln.com.au
2. Connect 100mm PVC sewer pipe into Outlet T-Junction. Glue outlet pipe to T-Junction with PVC plumbers glue.

1. Tie anchoring ropes (8) to the pre-drilled lugs in the rim of the tank. Leave the looped end to hang free.
1. Excavate site for installing tank in ground as per building code and local authority
requirements. Ensure adequate pipe fall to inlet of tank and from the tank outlet to
the transpiration bed or holding tank. Additionally, septic tanks are to be sited:
away from building foundations,
away from trafc areas, both vehicular and pedestrian,
away from or fenced off from animal stock pastures and areas.
2. Place four durable anchoring beams (not included) through the looped ends of the ropes.
3. Anchor beams can be made from 100mm PVC sewer pipe (plumber to supply) and should be 2 metres long and positioned to exceed the tanks extremities.
(Fig 6 & 7)
Approx
2.0m
2. Refer to the tank dimensions diagrams for correct levels.

3200L Tanks need approx 2.0m deep excavation (Fig 1)
4000L/3200L Tank complete with Riser need approx
2.4m deep excavation (Fig 2)
(exact depth will vary due to land fall and depth of bedding sand)
(Fig 1)
(Fig 4)
(Fig 5)
(Fig 6)
(Fig 7)
3. Do not bury tank lid. Manhole cover and inspection covers must be nished above
normal ground level to allow ongoing tank inspection and maintenance.
4. In the base of the excavation prepare a level 50mm bed of compacted sand
or soft compactable ll, free of large and/or sharp objects to allow levelling
of the tank base.
5. Carefully lower tank base into excavation - do not drop.
Approx
2.4m
6. Align inlet and outlet with pipe trenches. Ensure tank base is level with lid off.

1. Where a bafe is required (check your state/local regulations), insert the
bafe as follows.
(Fig 2)
Position the bafe in the location lugs in the base of the tank
In tank bases with a factory installed reinforced structural brace ring:
Lower the bafe into the centre of the tank
From inside the tank tilt the bafe so the bottom of the bafe is located
into the retaining pins in the base of the tank
Push the bafe into a vertical position
Ensure the bafe is seated on the reinforced structural brace ring and
rmly located in the base pins.
2. Drill and x in marked position using supplied two (2) stainless steel bolts, nuts and
washers provided.
3. For 4000L Tanks, clip the additional bafe extension on top of the main bafe and
screw into place where indicated using two (2) stainless steel bolts, nuts and
washers supplied. (Fig 3)

In sites where more fall is required from the exit point of the sewer line from the house to the septic tank, a riser can be used on a 3200L septic tank and holding
tank. This tank must be ordered complete with riser and will be supplied with a factory installed reinforced structural brace ring (Fig 8). The plumber installing
the septic tank is to assemble the riser ring onto the tank base. Only one riser ring can be used. Riser rings must not be assembled to tank bases that do not
have a factory tted reinforced structural brace ring.
4000L Septic Tanks and Holding Tanks are supplied with a fully assembled base
including the factory installed and sealed reinforced structural brace ring and the
additional base segments. (Plumber installs T-Junctions & Bafe).

1. Seal the riser ring to the tank with the provided black mastic sealing strip.
1. Use supplied M6 Bolts to assemble lid to the assembled tank base (do not use self
tapping screws).
2. Cut four (4) strips 390mm long for the vertical sealing faces of the riser ring.
2. Apply a sealing bead of silicone in the top lip of the assembled tank base.
3. Apply a sealing strip to the vertical face ensure sealing strips cover the full length of
the vertical faces to provide a seal between each riser segment face. Remove paper
strip. Ensure a small protrusion of the seal at the bottom edge of the ring (3mm).
3. Place lid onto assembled tank base aligning the dowel pin in the tank base
assembly (Fig 9) with the corresponding dowel hole in the lid. This aligns the
inspection covers above the inlet and outlet pipes.
4. Bolt each riser segment panel together with the 12 supplied M8x40 stainless steel
bolt, washer and nuts. Use a washer on each side of the bolt. Securely tighten
bolts. This completes assembly of the ring segments.
4. Drill and x lid in position with the supplied eight (8) M6 x 30 stainless steel bolts,
washers and nuts.
5. On the tank base roll the remaining sealing strip into the channel lip rim of the tank
base, ensuring even coverage. Remove paper strip.
5. Apply a sealing bead of silicone to lid recess for manhole cover.

Bafe
6. The sealing strip is mouldable. Mould the ends of the sealing strip together to
create a single complete circular seal.
6. Secure manhole cover in position with six (6) stainless steel self-tapping
screws provided.
7. Apply a sealing bead of silicone to lid and secure the two inspection covers.
7. Identify the riser segment panel with the location lug. (Fig 9)
8. This riser segment and lug is positioned directly above the inlet pipe and aligns with
the lug in the tank base (Fig 10) and the inlet inspection point in the lid.

9. Place and align the assembled riser ring on top of the tank base.
1. Discharge pipe by plumber (Fig 13). Ensure discharge pipe hole does not cut
through lid strengthening ribs. (Fig 14)
10. Ensure correct positioning of riser ring dowel hole on the tank base
location dowel. (Fig 11)
2. Fasten discharge pipe to lid using 316 stainless steel screws.
(Fig 8)
11. With an M8 bit, drill and x riser ring in position with 16 provided M8x50 stainless
steel bolts, washers and nuts. Use a washer on each side of the bolt. Securely
tighten bolts. Do not use self tapping screws!
(Fig 12)
3. Seal discharge pipe to lid with silicone.

4. Ensure maximum length of discharge pipe is half of tank depth. (Holding tanks must
only be pumped out half way.)
5. Discharge pipe connections must be positioned for easy pump-out vehicle access.

1. Secure the manhole cover then ll tank with water to outlet level.
2. After completely lling the tank with water, backll around the tank with clean ll and compact thoroughly. Thorough compaction is required to secure
anchors and to ensure the backll has the same density as the surrounding ground.
3. Compaction is important ensure there are no large or sharp objects in backll material.
4. Ensure surface water run-off is directed away from pipe trenches and tank installation.
