Application Notes

  • BFP fire code requires 60-minute reserve at design flow rate for sprinkler and hydrant systems.
  • 50 m³ supports a 25-head sprinkler system at 2 gpm per head with 20 percent safety margin.
  • Modular panels allow rooftop or basement installation without crane access in dense Metro Manila sites.
  • Dedicated fire reserve tank isolates fire water from potable or process supply to prevent cross-use.
  • FRP construction resists corrosion from chlorinated fire water and survives 20 to 25 years without repainting.
  • TankSmith includes inlet strainer and outlet flange compatible with standard fire booster pump connections.
  • Annual BFP inspection requires accessible manway and level gauge, both included in standard configuration.

Delivery and Installation

Panels ship from Antipolo warehouse to Metro Manila sites in 1 to 2 days. Installation requires concrete pad or structural steel frame per engineer's design. TankSmith coordinates with your fire protection contractor for booster pump integration and BFP annual inspection scheduling.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a 50 m³ tank take to install in Metro Manila?

Commission time is 5 to 8 days from panel delivery, including foundation cure time, panel assembly, hydrostatic test, and booster pump connection. Actual duration depends on site access and whether the foundation is pre-poured.

Is the tank BFP-compliant for fire reserve?

Yes. TankSmith FRP tanks meet WRAS and NSF potable water standards, which satisfy BFP requirements for fire reserve storage. The tank includes a dedicated inlet, outlet, and manway for inspection. Your fire protection engineer will specify the booster pump and piping layout per BFP fire code.

Can panels fit through Metro Manila building doorways?

Yes. All FRP panels pass through standard 800 mm doorways and service elevators, enabling rooftop or basement installation without external crane lifts in high-density Metro Manila buildings.

What warranty comes with the tank?

TankSmith provides a 3-year warranty on FRP panels against manufacturing defects. Design life is 20 to 25 years with routine inspection and cleaning per the maintenance schedule.

Do you deliver to Metro Manila?

Yes. Panels ship from our Antipolo, Rizal warehouse to any Metro Manila address in 1 to 2 days. Delivery includes panel offloading, installation is quoted separately based on site conditions.

Can we get a service invoice with BIR receipt?

Yes. TankSmith and sister brand JOHOB Hardware Trading issue BIR-registered official receipts and sales invoices for all supply and installation contracts.

What foundation does a 50 m³ fire reserve tank need?

A 50 m³ tank weighs approximately 50 metric tons when full. Foundation options include a reinforced concrete slab (minimum 150 mm thick) or a structural steel frame designed by a licensed civil engineer. TankSmith provides foundation loading diagrams with every quote.

Can the tank be divided into fire reserve and potable compartments?

Yes. TankSmith can configure the 50 m³ volume as two separate compartments with independent inlets, outlets, and level controls. This allows one section for dedicated fire reserve and another for domestic or process water, subject to your engineer's approval.
