Eco Tanks Tank Tap Reducer 40 mm to 20 mm

Optimize Your Water Tank Outlet: The 40/20mm Reducer

 

The Plastic Tank Tap Reducer (likely from Eco Tanks) is the essential fitting you need to bridge the gap between your tank's large outlet and your preferred smaller plumbing connection. Many large water tanks feature a standard 40mm (or 1 1/2 inch) outlet, which is too large for common garden hoses, basic taps, or standard domestic pump connections (which often use 20mm or 3/4 inch fittings).

This durable, high-quality plastic reducer screws directly into the tank's larger fitting, stepping down the thread size from 40mm (1 1/2") to 20mm (3/4"). It ensures a tight, reliable seal (when used with thread tape), allowing you to attach a standard ball valve or tap for controlled water dispensing. It's a simple, cost-effective plumbing solution to ensure compatibility between your water tank and your existing hose or pump system.

  Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Do I need to use anything else with this reducer to prevent leaks?

   • Yes. To ensure a watertight seal, you must wrap the threads with PTFE (Teflon) tape before screwing the reducer into the tank's outlet and before screwing the 20mm tap/valve into the reducer.

2. Will this fit a 50mm tank outlet?

   • No. This specific reducer is designed to fit a 40mm fitting (1 1/2 inch). You would need a different reducer (50mm to 20mm) for a tank with a larger 50mm outlet.

3. Is the 20mm thread on the inside or outside of the reducer?

   • The 40mm thread will be an External thread that screws into the tank outlet. The 20mm thread will be an Internal thread for a standard 20mm (3/4 inch) tap or connection to screw into it.
