1/2 in. SCH-80 PVC 90-Degreen Socket to Straight Socket Tank Connector Fitting Kit ASTM D2467

1/2 in. SCH-80 PVC 90-Degree Socket to Straight Socket Tank Connector Fitting Kit, ASTM D2467

The 247Garden 1/2 in. SCH-80 PVC 90-Degree Socket to Straight Socket Tank Connector Fitting Kit is designed to provide a convenient, high-pressure PVC connection from a tank wall or bulkhead to a standard 1/2 in. PVC socket connection, while allowing the piping to make a 90-degree turn.

This complete fitting kit combines a 1/2 in. SCH-80 PVC male threaded tank connector, a 90-degree SCH-80 PVC elbow, and a SCH-80 PVC female adapter. Together, the components create a practical tank-to-pipe connection that is useful for water tanks, reservoirs, irrigation systems, hydroponic systems, filtration equipment, plumbing assemblies, and other fluid-handling applications where a tank outlet needs to transition to PVC piping.

Main Purpose

The main purpose of this kit is to connect 1/2 in. PVC piping to a tank or reservoir through the tank wall and redirect the piping 90 degrees.

The tank connector passes through the tank wall and uses its gaskets and nut to secure the connection. The 90-degree elbow then changes the direction of the piping, while the female adapter provides a straight socket connection for 1/2 in. PVC pipe.

This makes the kit particularly useful when the piping needs to exit or enter a tank and then immediately turn to run horizontally, vertically, or in another desired direction.

What's Included

1 x 1/2 in. SCH-80 PVC Male Threaded Tank Connector, ASTM D2467, MNPT x MNPT, with 2 Gaskets and 1 Nut

The tank connector is designed to pass through a drilled opening in a tank or reservoir wall. It includes two gaskets and one retaining nut to help create a secure connection through the tank wall.

The dual-gasket configuration allows the tank wall to be positioned between the sealing components, helping provide a reliable bulkhead-style connection when properly installed.

1 x 1/2 in. SCH-80 PVC 90-Degree Female Threaded Elbow, ASTM D2467

The 90-degree elbow changes the direction of the piping and provides the transition needed for compact tank plumbing installations. Its SCH-80 construction is suitable for demanding PVC plumbing and fluid-handling applications.

1 x 1/2 in. SCH-80 PVC Female Adapter, ASTM D2467, 1/2 in. Slip x 1/2 in. FNPT

The female adapter provides the final transition from the threaded connection to a 1/2 in. slip/socket connection for PVC pipe. This allows standard 1/2 in. PVC pipe to be solvent-welded into the socket side.

SCH-80 PVC Construction

These fittings are made from Schedule 80 PVC, providing a thicker wall construction than Schedule 40 PVC. SCH-80 PVC is commonly used for higher-pressure plumbing, process piping, irrigation, water treatment, filtration, and industrial fluid-handling applications.

The components are designed around ASTM D2467 PVC pressure-fitting specifications where applicable.

90-Degree Tank Plumbing Configuration

One of the primary advantages of this kit is its compact 90-degree configuration. Instead of having the pipe extend directly away from the tank, the elbow allows the plumbing to turn immediately after the tank connection.

This can be useful when:

• Space around the tank is limited

• Piping needs to run parallel to the tank wall

• A tank outlet needs to turn downward or sideways

• Connecting a tank to an irrigation manifold

• Installing filtration or water-treatment equipment

• Building hydroponic or aquaponic plumbing systems

• Connecting reservoirs to pumps and circulation piping

• Creating custom PVC tank and reservoir plumbing

Tank Wall Installation

The tank connector is installed through a properly sized hole in the tank wall. The gaskets should be positioned correctly on the appropriate sides of the tank wall, and the retaining nut should be tightened sufficiently to compress the gaskets and establish the seal.

Do not overtighten the nut. Excessive force can damage the tank wall, gasket, or fitting.

The tank connector should be installed on a suitable flat surface with adequate clearance for the gasket and retaining nut.

PVC Solvent-Weld Connection

The socket side of the female adapter is designed for connection to compatible 1/2 in. PVC pipe using an appropriate PVC primer and solvent cement according to the cement manufacturer's instructions and the requirements of the specific application.

The threaded PVC connections should be assembled using a suitable thread sealant compatible with PVC. Avoid excessive tightening, as excessive torque can damage threaded PVC components.

Typical Applications

This fitting kit can be used for a wide range of water and fluid-handling projects, including:

• Water storage tanks

• Plastic reservoirs

• Irrigation systems

• Hydroponic reservoirs

• Aquaponic systems

• Filtration systems

• Water treatment equipment

• Pump connections

• Garden irrigation

• Agricultural water systems

• Recirculating water systems

• Custom PVC plumbing assemblies

• Tank drain and outlet plumbing

Complete Connection in One Kit

Instead of purchasing the tank connector, elbow, and adapter separately, this 247Garden kit provides the primary components needed to create a 1/2 in. SCH-80 PVC tank-wall connection with a 90-degree pipe transition and socket outlet.

The configuration is:

Tank Wall → SCH-80 Tank Connector → 90-Degree SCH-80 Elbow → SCH-80 Female Adapter → 1/2 in. PVC Pipe

This provides a clean and compact way to transition from a tank wall to conventional PVC piping.

Important Installation Note

The tank connector creates the connection through the tank wall, while the gaskets provide the sealing interface. Proper hole size, gasket placement, surface preparation, and controlled tightening are important for achieving a reliable installation.

Pressure ratings and suitability depend on the complete piping system, temperature, installation method, tank material, and application. The tank itself must also be capable of safely handling the intended fluid pressure.
