2 in. SCH-80 PVC Socket to Male Threaded Tank Connector BulkHead Fitting Kit ASTM D2467

Create a secure and versatile 2-inch PVC connection through the wall of a tank, reservoir, container, or other liquid-holding vessel with this 247Garden 2 in. SCH-80 PVC Socket to Male Threaded Tank Connector Fitting Kit.

This kit combines a 2-inch Schedule 80 PVC female adapter with a 2-inch Schedule 80 PVC male threaded tank connector. Together, these components create a convenient bulkhead connection through the tank wall while providing a 2-inch PVC socket connection on the inside of the tank.

The internal socket allows compatible 2-inch PVC pipe to be connected directly inside the tank, giving you greater flexibility when designing larger tank inlets, outlets, intakes, return lines, drains, and internal distribution plumbing.

How the Fitting Kit Works

The 2-inch tank connector passes through the tank wall to create the bulkhead connection. The included gaskets provide sealing surfaces against the tank wall, while the nut secures the fitting in position.

The female adapter attaches to the tank connector and provides a 2-inch socket connection. Compatible 2-inch PVC pipe can then be solvent-welded into the socket.

The resulting configuration provides:

2 in. PVC Pipe Inside Tank → 2 in. Socket → Female Adapter → Male NPT Tank Connector → Tank Wall → External NPT Connection

This gives you both an external threaded connection and an internal socket connection for building a more complete tank plumbing system.

Why Have a 2-Inch PVC Connection Inside the Tank?

A conventional tank connector provides a connection through the tank wall, but many larger tank and reservoir systems require the plumbing to extend farther inside the vessel.

The internal 2-inch socket allows you to connect compatible 2-inch PVC pipe directly inside the tank.

This is useful when the tank-wall penetration is located at a convenient position, but the actual intake, discharge, drain, or return point needs to be located somewhere else inside the tank.

The internal pipe can be used to:

• Extend an intake toward the bottom of the tank

• Position an inlet farther inside the tank

• Extend an outlet away from the tank wall

• Create an internal return line

• Direct water toward a specific location

• Build an internal distribution system

• Connect to internal elbows, tees, valves, strainers, or other PVC fittings

• Create custom intake and discharge plumbing

• Connect to an internal manifold

• Build larger-capacity tank plumbing

For example, a bulkhead connection can be installed on the side of a tank, then a section of 2-inch PVC pipe can be connected to the internal socket and extended downward toward the bottom of the tank.

This lets you control where the internal plumbing terminates without having to position the tank-wall fitting exactly at that location.

Build Custom PVC Plumbing Inside the Tank

The 2-inch socket provides a convenient starting point for building custom PVC plumbing inside the tank.

A compatible length of 2-inch PVC pipe can be solvent-welded into the socket and routed vertically, horizontally, or toward another location inside the tank.

Compatible PVC elbows, tees, couplings, valves, strainers, reducers, and other fittings can be incorporated into the internal assembly as needed.

This makes the kit useful for applications where the tank connector needs to serve as part of a larger plumbing system rather than simply acting as a pass-through fitting.

2-Inch Plumbing Connection for Larger Systems

The 2-inch size provides a larger plumbing connection than smaller 1/2-inch, 3/4-inch, 1-inch, 1-1/4-inch, and 1-1/2-inch configurations.

It is suitable for systems designed around 2-inch PVC pipe where a larger connection is required for the intended flow and plumbing configuration.

The appropriate pipe size should always be selected according to the required flow rate, pump specifications, operating pressure, pipe length, fittings, and overall system design.

Typical Applications

This 2-inch SCH-80 PVC tank connector fitting kit can be used for compatible plumbing and fluid-handling applications, including:

• Water storage tanks

• Large irrigation reservoirs

• Agricultural water systems

• Hydroponic reservoirs

• Aquaponic systems

• Filtration systems

• Pump installations

• Water distribution systems

• Liquid storage containers

• Custom reservoirs

• Equipment tanks

• Internal tank plumbing

• Larger intake and discharge systems

• Custom water circulation systems

Actual application suitability depends on the tank material, liquid being handled, operating pressure, temperature, chemical compatibility, and installation conditions.

Schedule 80 PVC Construction

Schedule 80 PVC features a thicker wall construction than Schedule 40 PVC and is commonly selected for demanding PVC plumbing applications where a robust fitting is required.

The components in this kit are intended for compatible Schedule 80 PVC plumbing applications and are manufactured to the applicable ASTM D2467 fitting standard.

Tank Wall Installation

Install the tank connector through an appropriately sized opening in the tank wall. Position the included gaskets correctly against the tank wall, then install and tighten the nut to secure the fitting.

Do not overtighten the nut. Excessive tightening can deform the gasket, damage the tank wall, or compromise the seal.

After securing the tank connector, install the female adapter onto the threaded connection. The internal socket can then be connected to compatible 2-inch PVC pipe.

Use an appropriate PVC primer and solvent cement system according to the pipe and fitting manufacturer's instructions.

Support the Connected Plumbing

The tank connector provides the connection through the tank wall, but it should not be relied upon as the sole structural support for long, heavy, or mechanically loaded pipe assemblies.

This is particularly important with larger 2-inch plumbing. If the installation includes long pipe runs, pumps, filters, valves, strainers, or other heavy components, provide appropriate pipe supports.

Proper support helps minimize mechanical stress on the tank wall and bulkhead fitting.

A Flexible Solution for Custom Tank Plumbing

The key advantage of this kit is the combination of a threaded tank-wall bulkhead connection and a 2-inch PVC socket connection inside the tank.

Instead of ending the plumbing at the tank wall, you can extend compatible 2-inch PVC pipe into the tank and build the internal plumbing around the specific requirements of your system.

Whether you need to extend an intake, position a discharge point, create a return line, build an internal drain, or create a larger distribution system, the 2-inch socket provides a convenient connection point for compatible PVC pipe.
