Watertight FRP (WTE) Turbine Enclosure
The Watertight FRP Turbine Enclosure (WTE) body is mounted on the tank collar. If a leakproof joint is required, cement the enclosure body to the tank collar using the adhesive kit (Kit AD). (It is recommended that the joint always be cemented.) All turbine enclosures are supplied with adhesive kits.
A minimum 36" diameter street box is required with all FRP models to allow the removal of the FRP lid after the turbine enclosure is installed. This also allows the removal of the manway cover.
To leak test the turbine enclosure, use a standing water test. DO NOT use an air pressure test.
