Title: HELP - Need a tank outlet WITHOUT the elbow
Post by: Nathanael Jones on February 28, 2013, 07:08:00 pm

I broke the fitting on my tank outlet today,... and I've the tank fitted fairly tight, so a connector with an elbow won't fit. Does anyone know where I can get a tank outlet fitting for a flat 650 liter tank (1" thread) WITHOUT the elbow?

If its for a 1/2" pipe, you can use the connector above with an inch or two of 15mm pipe.  A 1/2" hose will go ver that with some persuasion and some hot water.  Youll never get it off, mind.
