Done 3 tanks - used a hole cutter - then bathroom sealant - no leaks the immersion cuts its own thread.

Plumbers mate, works a treat, over a year and not a leak.

did you all use a mechanical flange going to set one up on my tank. thanks bee

[Pope vader]

i used a sealent from b and q that was for sticking bricks and plaster, metal together

Fitted mine last January, with mechanical flange- which is the best & most secure method. No sealants, just PTFE paste on the flange thread & PTFE tape on the immersion thread- ZERO leaks & works a treat. Not only do you get a tank of hot water that stays warm all day but NOTHING in the van freezes either with a 400ltr radiator in the back!!!!

[♠Winp®oClean♠]

No need for sealants if you use the mechanical flange & do it correctly!

You'll get the flange & element (27" with resettable thermostat) from Toolstation- approx £13 each.

You'll need heat resistant cable for the immersion (fit plug on other end) which you'll get from City electrical factors (or similar)

Also a 64mm hole saw for the flange hole.

did mine last year never had any leaks, nice and warm this morning, i think it cleans better when the water is warmed up.

How long does the water stay warm for in the van when out working?
