Also, maybe someone with water flow knowledge could answer this, but when you open the valve, would the sediment there get stirred upward because of turbid water. I would opt for that short pipe extension before the valve to help keep the stuff down.


Agreed! Makes perfect sense. From what I understand. In a conical based tank, the water right above the solid waste is also pretty toxic as well, so it would be nice to get the water out of the tank with as little stirring as possible.
