    Im about to plumb my waste tank. I think I know what to do, but would like to know for certain what goes where. Any suggestions or recommendations are appreciated.

    Thanks

    Get rid of any 90ยบ's and then run as large of piping as possible.

    For your drain you can run some transfer tank hose out near a door with a ball valve or pvc valve. You might want to get a muffler clamp or a U clamp discard the flange and drill two holes in the floor to place the U into and mount it down so it doesnt move around when you open and close the valve. Also looks like your really restricting airflow at the fliter. See how it reduces on the end of that tank hose? Well that is a huge restriction right there man. Good luck!

    Help me out if i get this wrong.

    I connect my vacuum tools to the stainless basket side hole.
    I connect the filter side hole with the suction end of the blower. (using a hose with minimal restriction)

    What gets connected to the elbow shown in the second pic?(previous post)

    ...ive got a pvc valve on the drain, the u clamp is a great idea. thanks.

    btw. the tm is a prochem 100a and the tank is from something else, a legend i think.

    That is your exhaust from your silencer,I would cut a hole in the floor and run through there with some metal flex pipe.You will want wire reinforced hose from blower to tank (like the little piece that is already on the inlet)and like said above,keep it as large as possible.
