Fire Tanks NSW – Bushfire Tanks with Storz Fitting

As more homes are being built in rural and semi-rural settings, local councils are requiring Storz Fire tanks NSW. New South Wales Rural Fire Service require that bushfire prone areas require planning for Bushfire Protection (PBP). One requirement when building in these zones is to have a steel tank with dedicated fire water – also containing a Storz Fitting. On-site water is required in an aboveground steel or concrete tank. The capacity is dictated by your local council. Most commonly these are 10,000 litres or 20,000 litres.

Things to Consider:

Consider a combined Storz fire Tank NSW with a domestic tank – Often customers will combine the fire requirements and their own domestic requirements and purchase a larger steel water tank. Customers would then insert a domestic fitting. As an example – If the Storz fire tank NSW has 10,000 litres of designated fire water. then a smart idea would be to order a 20,000 litre tank and insert a domestic fitting at the 10,000 litre mark from the bottom. This enables the top 10,000 litres of water to be available for domestic purposes like toilets or garden. This results in the lowest water in the tank being designated for Storz Fire water only.
