Description
This ABS tank connector provides a secure and reliable method of creating a watertight connection through the wall of a tank, vessel or chamber. The plain male spigot is designed to solvent weld into standard ABS fittings or valves, forming a strong bonded joint using ABS solvent cement and cleaner. The BSP female threaded outlet allows a threaded fitting, valve or adaptor to be connected externally, offering flexibility for system layout and maintenance. Supplied with two threaded nuts and a gasket, the connector clamps firmly onto the tank wall to ensure a tight long term seal. Manufactured from high quality ABS, it offers excellent impact resistance, low moisture absorption and dependable performance across a wide working temperature range.
