Orificial members having a tubular neck and conforming with the lumen of the orifices of the storage tank are typically made of the same material as the RT. Magnets, attached to, or embedded in, the walls of the RT are attracted to the walls of the metallic storage tank. A method for manufacturing, packaging and for in situ installing an RT is provided.
