Please, what is the correct placement for the Cu exit pipe to the HW system from a fibreglass cold water tank? This is a standard rectangular shaped tank replacing a galvanized tank.
SFAIUI a fibreglass tank needs to rest on a platform made from (floor)boards carried by joists, rather than just sitting straight on joists as per the old one.
On the old tank the exit CW pipe goes direct out from underneath, but I'm getting conflicting advice as to the correct connection point for the new one. One suggestion is to copy the old tank (ie from underneath), the other is that the pipe should be taken out from the side about 50mm up from the boards.
TIA
