What are water tank fittings and why are they important?

When you install a water tank, it’s important to know that quality water tank fittings are essential to its success.

The correct fittings and accessories play an important role in keeping your stored water clean. They also help provide you with efficient access to that liquid supply when you want it.

At Stainless Steel Tanks, we set the bar high when it comes to tank installation. We supply customers with great stainless steel tanks, and that extends to the accessories we use and stock.

You might have a rainwater tank for home use, a commercial grade tank for your business or stored supply for firefighting purposes. Well, we can help add quality fittings to your tank that won’t let you down.

So what actually are water tank fittings? Put simply, fittings refer to inlets and outlets secured to your tank. They are where the rain flows into the top of the tank so it can fill, and out at the bottom where it connects to a tap for use. An overflow at the tank’s top ensures excess water can easily and safely drain away.
