Fittings Info & picture
Fittings

Flexible PVC tank liners include flanged tubes joined and sealed at the factory. By folding the flexible flanges, tubes can be inserted through the concrete, wood, FRP or steel walls and pipe fitting. This eliminates most onsite seaming and joining and provides long lasting, chemical resistant protection for the fittings as well as the tank itself. Bag type flexible PVC liners and tubes can be custom made for tanks of any size or shape.
