Fresh Water Tank Fittings & Sensor Installation for RVs | Elkhart RV Parts

Asked by DougAsked on July 28, 2025Answered by Elkhart RV Parts
Customer Question

Can I return my unused replacement fresh water tank for fittings installation? Will installing the original sensors cost extra? What are my options for adding fittings and sensors to my tank?

Expert Answer

Do not send the tank back for fitting or sensor installation without an order-specific authorization and an approved service arrangement. An unused tank is not automatically approved for return, modification or reshipment. This historical answer does not establish that installation is available, that original sensors can be reused, or whether sensor labor, fittings, shipping or return charges would apply.

First identify the tank manufacturer, exact part number and supplied configuration, including existing ports and material. Identify each proposed fitting and sensor by its actual part number, mounting/sealing method and connection type. A kit described as “universal” does not prove compatibility with every fresh-water tank, the original sensors or the existing level-monitor system. Some tanks have configured fittings; do not assume that most tanks are blank or that a sensor can be installed through any proposed opening.

Custom Plastics' spinwelding process information requires compatible tank and fitting materials. It is general process guidance, not approval for this unidentified tank or sensor, a drilling/welding procedure for your installation, or confirmation that Elkhart RV Parts will perform the work. A generic installation listing or the fitting photograph below also does not establish an available service or a leak-proof result.

A useful configuration record shows all tank faces, fixed reference edges, existing and proposed port centers, fitting/sensor numbers, orientation, support and access clearances. That record can support an exact technical and service review; it is not an installation booking or a quote. Keep return eligibility, modification approval, sensor compatibility, any labor/material charges and outbound/return shipping arrangements unconfirmed until the actual order and configuration have been reviewed. No price, fee waiver, service lead time or shipping outcome is promised here.
