Product Description

Ashirvad Flowguard Plus CPVC Threaded Tank Nipple provides a reliable connection between overhead water storage tanks and CPVC distribution systems. 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.

The 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.

Recommended Applications

• Overhead Tank Outlets: Primary connection from overhead water storage tanks to distribution systems
• Tank Replacements: Connecting new tanks to existing CPVC distribution networks
• Multi-Story Buildings: Tank outlet connections in apartments and commercial buildings
• Residential Installations: Independent house overhead tank connections
• Loft Tank Connections: Connecting loft-mounted storage tanks to plumbing systems
• Backup Water Systems: Secondary tank connections for water storage backup

Installation Guidelines

FAQs

1) What size tank nipple do I need for my overhead tank?

Tank nipple size depends on your distribution pipe diameter and tank outlet size. Common sizes are 20mm (3/4") and 25mm (1") for residential tanks. For larger tanks or multi-unit buildings, 32mm (1-1/4") or 40mm (1-1/2") may be required. Match the nipple size to your main distribution pipe diameter.

2) Do I need a gasket with the threaded tank nipple?

Yes, always use a rubber gasket between the tank wall and the threaded flange to create a watertight seal. The gasket compresses when you tighten the lock nut, preventing leaks. Also apply PTFE tape to the threads for additional sealing.

3) Can I use this fitting for tank inlet connections?

While primarily designed for tank outlets, threaded tank nipples can be used for inlet connections as well. However, for inlet applications, ensure the nipple is positioned to prevent turbulence and consider using a float valve assembly for automatic tank filling.

4) How do I prevent leaks at the tank connection?

To prevent leaks: 1) 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. Over-tightening can crack the tank wall, so tighten just until snug and leak-free.

5) Can I replace a tank nipple without draining the entire tank?

It's highly recommended to drain the tank before replacing a tank nipple to avoid water damage and ensure proper installation. If you must work with water in the tank, reduce water level below the outlet and have materials ready for quick installation. However, proper installation requires a dry, clean work area.
