The 1.5\" ports are spun closed at the factory so you only open the ones your plumbing actually uses. Open them with a hole saw on the bench, before the tank goes anywhere near the van, and vacuum the shavings out. Plastic chips inside a fresh water tank are a mistake you only make once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the tank need a vent?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. It is designed to run unpressurized. Run a vent line from the top 1.5\" port up above the maximum fill level and out through the floor or a body vent. Skip it and the tank will deform on a hot day, then pull its walls in when the pump runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much weight am I adding to the van?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater weighs roughly 8.34 lb per gallon, so 24 gallons is about 200 lb of payload once full, on top of the dry weight of the tank. Put that number in your build budget before you order rather than after — it is the most commonly forgotten figure in a van conversion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I drink out of it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vessel itself is BPA-free food-grade polyethylene, so the tank is potable-rated. What actually determines whether your water is safe to drink is everything downstream of it: the fill port, the hose, the pump and the filtration. We plumb potable systems with NSF-61 rated hose and a carbon block at the tap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePairs well with\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/van-life-parts\"\u003eVan water tanks and plumbing\u003c\/a\u003e — the rest of the NW Conversions range\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSold and shipped by Campervan Parts R Us, the parts counter of Noke Van Co. — a working van conversion shop in Roanoke, Virginia.
