Choosing a Septic Tank Configuration
Compare capacity, dimensions, assembly options and the information needed before ordering.
Explore solutions01 Start with the application
Define the wastewater application and project requirements before comparing products. Available space and the overall system design are important alongside nominal tank capacity.
Chenan’s catalog includes several assembled septic tank configurations. Match the selected model to a project specification rather than choosing solely by appearance.

02 Review the configuration
Review the listed capacity, external dimensions and source-listed thickness or weight options. Different configurations can have similar names but different dimensions.
Use the model and dimensions together when requesting information. Ask the team to confirm the current drawing and the selected options.

03 Plan the complete system
Coordinate pipework, access openings, support and installation space with the current product drawing. Confirm what components are included in the order.
A tank selection must fit the complete project design. Discuss installation requirements and any site-specific constraints with the responsible project team.

04 Keep maintenance accessible
Preserve access for inspection and servicing. Identify where covers and risers will finish relative to the surrounding surface.
Send the intended model, quantity, destination and site information when requesting a quotation.
