Tank Bulkhead 1-1/2 in (3)

Description

DN40 (1 1/2″) Tank Bulkhead Fitting DN40 (1 1/2″) Tank Bulkhead Fitting – High-Flow, Leak-Proof Port Connector for Large Tanks The DN40 (1 1/2″) Tank Bulkhead Fitting is a heavy-duty, essential component for plumbing large water storage systems where high flow rates are required. This robust connector is designed to be fitted securely through the wall of any thick-walled container, creating a reliable, watertight, threaded port with a substantial 1 1/2-inch diameter. Constructed from high-strength, corrosion-resistant plastic, the fitting ensures long-term durability against water and chemicals. Its multi-piece compression design utilizes large hexagonal nuts to tightly clamp the tank wall, guaranteeing a powerful, leak-proof seal. The prominent hexagonal shape allows for easy installation and secure tightening with a standard wrench. The large internal threading is compatible with standard 1 1/2-inch pipe fittings, enabling the attachment of high-flow valves, large drain pipes, or specialized filtration equipment. Key Benefits High-Flow Capacity: 1 1/2″ diameter is ideal for rapid filling, drainage, and circulation in large systems. Watertight Seal: Compression design guarantees a reliable, leak-proof connection through tank walls. Corrosion Resistant: Durable plastic construction ensures zero rust and longevity in wet and chemical environments. Easy Installation: Large hexagonal nuts and body allow for robust, tool-assisted installation and secure tightening. Versatile Use: Creates secure and customizable entry or exit points anywhere on a large tank wall. Technical Specifications Part Number: (Specific to the DN40 model) Nominal Diameter: DN40 (Approx. 1 1/2 Inch) Material: High-Strength, Corrosion-Resistant Plastic (e.g., PVC or PE) Connection Type: Threaded Female Port Feature: Bulkhead/Tank Connector, Hexagonal Nuts Grade: Industrial/Commercial/Large Residential Perfect For Installing large drain and overflow ports in agricultural and industrial storage tanks. Connecting high-volume transfer pumps to water reservoirs. Commercial rainwater collection systems requiring fast input/output. Any large container modification where a secure, large-diameter port is needed. Application Instructions Hole Preparation: Drill a clean, precise hole in the tank wall that is sized correctly for the fitting body. Insert Body: Insert the threaded body of the fitting through the hole from the inside (ensure any sealing gasket is in place). Secure Nut: Thread the large hexagonal nut onto the exposed threads on the outside of the tank wall. Tighten: Use a wrench to tighten the nut firmly, creating a watertight compression seal, but avoid excessive force that could damage the tank wall. Final Connection: Attach the desired pipe fitting, valve, or spigot to the threaded port. Pro Tips For extremely rigid tank materials, apply a thin layer of silicone sealant around the compression gasket for an extra layer of protection against micro-leaks. When drilling the large hole, ensure the hole saw is sharp and run the drill slowly to prevent plastic warping. Use PTFE (Teflon) tape on the external threads before attaching pipe fittings to ensure a final watertight seal. Due to its large size, ensure the fitting is installed in an accessible location for maintenance and checking.
