This specialized fitting features a threaded flange on one end that screws into the tank outlet, and a CPVC socket on the other end for solvent-welding to distribution pipes. The design ensures a watertight seal at the tank connection while maintaining full compatibility with CPVC piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe robust construction withstands the constant water pressure from overhead tanks, while the corrosion-resistant CPVC material ensures long-term reliability. The threaded flange includes a gasket seating surface for proper sealing against the tank wall. Essential for new tank installations and tank replacement projects, this fitting provides a professional, leak-free connection that eliminates the need for adapters or improvised solutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background-color: #fcefb9;

Common sizes are \u003cstrong\u003e20mm (3\/4\") and 25mm (1\")\u003c\/strong\u003e for residential tanks. For \u003cstrong\u003elarger tanks or multi-unit buildings, 32mm (1-1\/4\") or 40mm (1-1\/2\")\u003c\/strong\u003e may be required.

The gasket \u003cstrong\u003ecompresses when you tighten the lock nut\u003c\/strong\u003e, preventing leaks.

However, for inlet applications, ensure the nipple is \u003cstrong\u003epositioned to prevent turbulence\u003c\/strong\u003e and consider using a \u003cstrong\u003efloat valve assembly\u003c\/strong\u003e for automatic tank filling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e4) How do I prevent leaks at the tank connection?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo prevent leaks: \u003cstrong\u003e1) Use a proper rubber gasket, 2) Apply PTFE tape to threads, 3) Tighten lock nut evenly without over-tightening, 4) Ensure tank outlet hole is smooth and free of cracks\u003c\/strong\u003e. Over-tightening can \u003cstrong\u003ecrack the tank wall\u003c\/strong\u003e, so tighten just until snug and leak-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e5) Can I replace a tank nipple without draining the entire tank?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's \u003cstrong\u003ehighly recommended to drain the tank\u003c\/strong\u003e before replacing a tank nipple to avoid water damage and ensure proper installation. If you must work with water in the tank, \u003cstrong\u003ereduce water level below the outlet\u003c\/strong\u003e and have materials ready for quick installation.
