Mobile water tanks and fittings are made of safe (P), durable, corrosion-resistant, nonabsorbent, smooth, easily cleanable materials; tanks are enclosed from inlet to outlet and slope to a full drain; access ports are on top, flanged up 13 mm (1/2 inch), with gasketed, secured, overlapping and draining covers; V-threads on inlets or outlets are allowed only with permanently attached hoses; vents point down and are screened (16 mesh) or filtered; inlets and outlets slope to drain and are protected from waste, road dust, oil and grease; drinking water hoses are safe (P), durable, smooth inside and labeled for their use. Compressed air used to pressurise the system passes through a filter that stops oil and oil vapour (P); inlets, outlets and hoses have caps or protective storage; a mobile food establishment tank inlet is 19.1 mm (3/4 inch) or less with a connection that cannot be used for anything else.
