Where milk is held at the dairy in farm tanks or transferred to tankers for delivery, the following conditions must be complied with:
(b) Farm tanks must be installed at least two feet, measured from any piece of equipment or accessory that may protrude from the tank, from the walls of the milk room on all sides. When a surface cooler is used, the distance between the tank wall and the building wall must be at least three feet six inches on the side where cooler is installed. When the pump for transferring milk from the farm tank is installed or located in the milk room, the distance between the tank wall and the wall of the building must be at least three feet at the outlet end.
These distances may be modified only by written permission of the director. A clearance of at least six inches must be provided between the bottom of the farm tank or pipe under the farm tank and the floor. The farm tank must not be located over a floor drain.
(d) A sanitary stainless steel pipeline or rubber or plastic hose must be used for conveying milk from the farm tank. Any line or hose used must be in lengths which can be readily cleaned and sterilized by approved methods. Hoses must be capped and contained in a dustproof compartment on the truck or trailer while in transit. Sanitary caps must be used for tank outlets.
