– pivot fixed to pipe manifold with bolts through a gasket;

– bottom and side supports to fasten swing pipe on tank bottom or sidewall using pivot;

– intake pipe on moving part of pivot fixed with bolts through a gasket (may be delivered in several parts, which should be welded on site);

– middle pivot fixed to the pipe with bolts through a gasket;

– intake pipe on pivot mating part (may be also delivered in several parts, which should be joined on site);

– intake fitting fixed to the pipe with bolts through a gasket;

– bracket welded with roller to tank top;

– winch on tank outer side connected with shaft to the roller thought bracket welded to the tank with a stiffening plate;

– wire rope ends of which are passed through the roller: one end is fixed to the upper part of intake fitting flange, the other end is fixed to the bottom part;
