Tank Fittings And Connections For Water Storage Systems

A guest blog submission from Hansen Tank Fittings.

Selecting the right tank fittings is key to building an efficient water storage system. While your tank and pump may be the largest components, your tank fittings are what keeps everything together. In other words, when it comes to building a dependable water system - whether for irrigation, rural water supply, or household use - the quality of your fittings is just as important as the tank and pump themselves.

This is why Hansen tank fittings are widely trusted across Australia and beyond for their durability, ease of installation, and long-term performance in demanding environments.

 

Factors To Consider When Selecting Tank Fittings

Choosing the right tank fittings for your system will be heavily dependent on the larger components you have chosen, and what you need to achieve. Having said that, there are some key things that you should consider when selecting tank fittings such as:

Tank Fittings That Are Built For Strength And Longevity

Tank fittings are often exposed to direct sunlight, fluctuating temperatures, constant pressure and more. For this reason, it is vital that your selected fittings are built to withstand the impact of these factors and can maintain their integrity over time.

Hansen fittings are manufactured from high-quality, UV-stabilised materials designed to withstand harsh outdoor conditions - so you know they’ve got you covered for household use - and are particularly well-suited for agricultural and irrigation applications where reliability is critical.

Hansen Tank Fitting Performance Data:

15mm to 50mm - Maximum Working Pressure: 1600kPa @ 20° 80mm to 100mm - Maximum Working Pressure: 1000kPa @ 20°

Hansen True Fit Tank Fittings meet the requirements for products in contact with drinking water as per AS/NZS 4020 Australia & New Zealand drinking water standard.

Options Designed For Easy Installation

Compression and threaded tank fittings that can be installed quickly without the need for specialised tools should be given priority when selecting the right components for your system. Not only does this reduce the amount of time they take to install (which means lower labour costs if engaging a professional) but it also minimises the risk of leaks caused by incorrect assembly. This makes tank and pump fittings that are designed in this user-friendly manner ideal for both professionals and DIY users, allowing you more flexibility with your setup.

Leak-Free Performance

A secure, watertight connection is essential in any pumping system. It’s needed to maintain system pressure, improve efficiency, and prevent water wastage, and helps keep everything running smoothly. Hansen fittings are engineered with precision threads and sealing surfaces to ensure consistent, leak-free performance - an important consideration in both domestic and commercial setups.

Application Versatility

While tank fittings may seem like a fairly straightforward product to purchase, there are actually a range of applications that they may need to fulfill, this includes:

  • Rainwater harvesting systems
  • Garden and landscape irrigation
  • Livestock watering systems
  • Domestic water supply setups

As such, it is important to select a range that offers versatility in the applications the fittings can be used for, especially since most people like to have their system components match. Hansen tank fittings are suitable for a wide range of uses, and their versatility means they can be used across different pipe materials and system configurations, making them a go-to solution for installers and contractors.
