Settling tank:
A settling tank slows the flow of waste water to allow plaster, clay and other material to sink to the bottom of the tank and cleaner water to flow out to the sewer.
In general, the capacity of a settling tank needs to be sufficient to retain the contaminated waste water for at least one hour before being discharged to sewer.
The most common size plaster trap is 72 litres for a single sink. However, your local water authority will nominate the appropriate capacity tank depending on your trade waste agreement.
Viking has supplied National Art School, Darlinghurst, with a number of Settling Tanks.

Located in the old Darlinghurst gaol, NAS is a practitioner’s art school committed to teaching the vital practical skills that form the foundation of a visual arts career. Says Scott Clement, NAS Facilities Administrator: “Just to let you know we have replaced quite a few of the older metal tanks with the Viking tanks and everyone is extremely happy with them”.
