Can this item be installed on outside burried tanks ?

Not an easy answer here. This gauge is designed for a standard above ground fuel oil tank. It screws directly into the top of the tank itself. I suppose that if your tank is right at the surface you could use this, but the plastic cover will be right at ground level. I am not sure just how desirable that would be. you would almost certainly have to put some sort of guard around it, and it could be pretty tough to read. There is a certain amount of extra length to the top part of the gauge, and with a bit of ingenuity you could install this thing in an extension pipe. and then a bit of adjusting would be indicated(bending the float arm). I would talk to your local oil supplier and see if they had anything they would recommend for use in a buried tank.

It will work just fine. Place in the tank where you want it, place gravel/rocks around it. Hook it up to an air pump and plug into an electrical outlet. Done!

You sure can. I added one to mine. Just make sure it is a heater for under a five gallon tank

If the fitting on the stub is the same as a tank fitting then I would think yes. Might want an extension hose. Neil

Probably the most important instruction is that the code requires this device to be installed 12" higher than the highest head, assuming this is for an irrigation system. If this is not practical, then an RPz device should be used instead. Also, a PVB should be installed outside because it's designed to dump water. Also, the PVB works best under continuous pressure, so if you have a master valve upstream of the device, I recommend it be eliminated or moved to the downstream side of the PVB.

I believe for 45k gallons you will need the higher btu version of this model. Yes these are able to be installed outside or inside utilizing proper exhaust system.

It could be mounted to the side of a tank. The mounting bracket normally screws into an object... but and adhesive could possibly be used.

In Florida you can install it outside. You need to buy a system that has a cover for the valve. Fleck valves have this option. You need to protect the tank from light due to the growth of algae. Algae will foul a softener over time. Two ways to eliminate this problem. Buy a stainless steel jacket for the tank or paint the tank with 2-3 coats of a dark color semi gloss or gloss paint. You need to apply a primer first like gliddens gripper primer. I would go with any fleck system that has a cover for the valve head. Fleck 2510 SXT is an example of a covered valve. It is also a good unit.

Yes it can be mounted outside. I have had 2 of them outside for almost 6 years

Yes, if you have the correct 1 inch pipe fitting on the tank, the anode will protect the tank from corroding. If the length is too long, cut to suit

I sure you can, but I don't think I would risk it. I know that they have a unit designed to bemounted outside and I believe the only differences are the unit is insulated to help ambient moisture to effect the interior electronics, weather protection, and the venting is direct, rather then a B-vent. One thing to keep in mind, a minium water pressure is very important for this unit to operate correctly.

From what I understood/remember, you can put it directly into the tank, in the water. (I have mine in a hood) You could also lay in at base behind tank or "rig/tape" to top of tank outside/back perhaps?

I guess not because some material can be inserted in the tank beside water whatever the source. But better ask the maker.Jacques

Yes, but the unit will have to be positioned horizontally at that shallow water depth. You can remove the bracket and lay the filter directly on the bottom of the tank to make the profile shallower. This unit is larger than most people expect, but as long as the vents on the side are covered with water, you should be fine.

Yes, at lease mine fits perfectly under the stand. You don't need to drill holes in your tank since this is an external filter.

It can be mounted outside but recommends somewhere somewhat shielded. I mounted mine on a cross beam above the spare tire so it's tucked away. It does have air vents so not sure how water tight it is. Easy install.

Only if it's a short distance. Where there is a long fill tube to the tank, it will not. But a short distance it will work. They are cheaper at my local hardware store though.
