FloPlast Solvent Weld Waste Tank Connector - 40mm Grey

Tank connectors are most commonly used in commercial applications in situations where a number of tanks need to be linked together.

The threaded nut is unscrewed and the fitting is pushed through the hole in the tank so that the flange of the tank connector rests against the tank wall. The nut is then tightened, allowing the washer to make the seal against the tank wall.

The outlet is a solvent weld connection to the pipe.

In addition to plumbing installations, tank connectors are commonly used in the fish keeping and pond industries.

This fitting is available in 32mm and 40mm size options.

Our solvent weld waste is manufactured in the UK to BS EN 1455 and is kitemarked.

To make a solvent weld joint, first ensure that the outer wall of the pipe and the inner wall of the fitting are both clean and free from grit or swarf. Apply SC250 solvent cement to both surfaces. Push the pipe fully into the fitting and give it a twist to ensure that full contact has been made. Clean off any excess solvent with a damp cloth and leave for 5 minutes to set. The installation should be left for 12 hours before testing.

Solvent weld joints are permanent - they cannot be demounted once the joint has been made. When using solvent cement, always work in a well ventilated area and keep the cement away from heat sources or naked flames. Avoid any contact with skin - if contact does occur then wash thoroughly with soap and water.
