How to install a Water Tank valve (Rainwater harvesting) - Burton Builds

Don't make the mistake of forgetting to apply PTFE thread tape to each of the threaded fittings... if you apply threat tape, the fittings won't leak and will thread together smoothly and easily. If no thread tape is applied, the fitting joint may leak and the plastic tends to 'bite' together when tightening.
In this video we explore how to install a ball valve on a water tank. I removed the original 1" (25mm) ball valve in order to install a 1.5" (40mm) ball valve. The bigger valve (and piping) will allow water to transfer and balance between all tanks more quickly.

So what kind of coupling or pvc nipple do you use for the 3 inch bulkhead?

[@GrantBurton]

I haven't used one of a fitting that size yet but it would be the same type of coupling / nipple but in a 3" size? I mainly use 1" and 1.5" and 2" fittings.

@@GrantBurton now that I have more experience I realize what a newbie question I asked, bulkheads are 2 inch threaded

@@MicroUrb No worries at all... hope you managed to come right with what you were trying to connect.
