RV Fresh Water Tank Fittings & Installation Guide | Elkhart RV Parts

Asked by AddisonAsked on June 26, 2025Answered by Elkhart RV Parts
Customer Question

What fittings do you recommend for installing into a fresh water tank using your universal fittings kit, especially for 1/2" NPT thread to 1/2" hose barb fittings? Also, can you confirm your custom spinweld fitting service availability and provide guidance on preventing leaks with grommet installations?

Expert Answer

Currently, our custom spinweld fitting installation service is temporarily unavailable as we are improving it for future availability. However, you can purchase individual fittings separately, including 1/2" NPT threaded fittings compatible with 1/2" hose barb connections, which are common for fresh water tanks. We recommend using our Universal Fresh Water Tank Fittings Kit, which includes all necessary components and detailed installation instructions to help ensure a secure, leak-free setup. The kit uses durable grommets designed to maintain a tight seal under water pressure without requiring specialized tools. For step-by-step guidance, please refer to our installation PDF guide available on our website. If you prefer to replicate your original tank fittings layout, using 1/2" Uniseal grommets combined with standard 1/2" NPT threaded fittings is an effective solution that balances durability and ease of installation.
