W1315000 RV Fresh Water Tank Fittings Installation & Options

Asked by ChristopherAsked on August 20, 2025Answered by Elkhart RV Parts
Customer Question

Can I install the 2x 1/2" FPT flush fittings, 1x 1-3/8" OD x 1-1/8" ID non-thread fitting, and 4x water level sensors on my W1315000 RV fresh water tank myself? Is spin welding required or are there alternative installation methods?

Expert Answer

The fittings you purchased for your W1315000 RV fresh water tank have been shipped separately and were not pre-installed, as our Custom Spinweld Installation service is currently on hold. Many customers opt to install these fittings themselves for greater customization.

Flush fittings are designed to create smooth, permanent connections and are ideally installed using spin welding to ensure a leak-proof seal. However, installation with sealant is possible if spin welding equipment is unavailable, though it may not be as durable.

Universal fittings kits offer flexible installation options including grommets and barbed couplers, suitable for various setup needs but differ from flush fittings in application.

If you choose to self-install, ensure you follow the specified fitting dimensions and use appropriate sealants or adhesives compatible with polyethylene tanks.
