Innovative Marine EXT 170 Build

Time to start the build thread as the tank showed up today. A little bit of a workout drill pushing up the hill.

I work in the logistics business and I have to say IM packages their tanks extremely well. All arrived safe and sound.

Now the fun can begin!

Just a question! My partner and I bought the 170 ext and were just baffled at how we’re going to get this in our house and in the basement! Any tips you can give us ?

One approach that I have seen to be effective - buy a couple of six packs, maybe add pizza, and invite the strongest friends you have.
 
I am curious how it is holding up. Thinking of pulling the trigger and getting one.
 
What size of pipe, union, ball valve and 45 deg angle pipe did you use? I just got the same tank and need to order the plumbing. Cheers
