What should be used to prevent electrical contact between anchor straps and tanks?

Using non-conductive materials to prevent electrical contact between anchor straps and tanks is essential for several reasons. Electrical contact can create a pathway for electrical currents, potentially leading to corrosion of the tank and other components, as well as posing safety risks. Non-conductive materials act as insulators, effectively shielding the tank from any unwanted electrical transfer that could cause degradation or compromise the tank's integrity.

Moreover, in the context of underground storage tanks, maintaining the integrity of the tank is crucial for environmental protection and regulatory compliance. By using non-conductive materials, you ensure that the potential for galvanic corrosion is minimized, which can be particularly problematic in environments where there are dissimilar metals involved. This choice aligns with best practices for UST installations where safety, durability, and environmental protection are paramount.
