The pipe extending thorough the tank end wall may be any four schedule four-inch pipe.
Location of the PVC outlet pipe in the tank end wall shall conform to local code. The PVC

Existing System Installation:
The filter cartridge, Model A1801 may be installed in any existing 4² outlet Tee and
pipe. The filter may be installed in an existing tank if an adequate Outlet Access Lid
opening already exists and the filter can be installed without damaging the existing tank.
If a 4-inch PVC outlet pipe does not extend into the tank, the filter can be installed
utilizing a Zabel Filter Installation Adapter Ring Model FAR-RNG. If the existing tank
cannot be used, the filter can be installed in existing systems using a Zabel Container
Assembly Model CA100.
8. Service:
A professional onsite service company should perform all onsite system service.
9. Service Method:
Grasp the filter handle and pull the filter cartridge upward. A Zabel 36" T-Handle
is available if required to reach filters more than 12 inches below grade. Tap the
cartridge on the inside of the inspection port or hose off the cartridge into the tank if
needed and reinsert into the case. Installation of an effluent filter may increase the
frequency of service if the homeowner discharges materials that are harmful to the system
10. Service Frequency:
The filter should be cleaned when the septic tank is normally inspected and pumped as
required by local regulation. The A1800 is designed to slough most normal solids off the
inside of the vertical walls and back into the tank when the effluent flow is in a resting
state. Installation of an effluent filter may increase the frequency of service if the
homeowner discharges materials that are harmful to the system
11. Warranty:
The A1800 is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship for the life
of the original purchaser. Zabel's liability is limited to repair or replacement of the
part and in no event shall Zabel be liable for any consequential damages of any kind.
