RV Fresh Water Tanks SKU 12735 & 12736 Fitting Placement Guide
RV Fresh Water Tanks SKU 12735 & 12736 Fitting Placement Guide
Do the fittings on RV fresh water tanks SKU Icon Direct 12735 and 12736 protrude past the tank ends? Can these tanks be placed end to end? Are the fittings on one end or both? Also, is there a longer version of the WT2472 tank, and are black tanks available for algae control?
ICON distinguishes these fitted tank part numbers from their tank-only versions. In the manufacturer catalog (printed page 134), 12735 is the fitted WT2471, listed as 24 × 12 × 12 inches and 15 US gallons; 12736 is the fitted WT2472, listed as 32 × 12 × 12 inches and 20 US gallons. Each fitted version is specified with three ½-inch FPT connections and one 1¼-inch filler boss. The catalog separately identifies tank-only 12505 and 12506; these are different ordering configurations, not an instruction to remove or relocate fittings on 12735 or 12736.
ICON's current WT2471 and WT2472 pages describe the preinstalled fittings on the front face shown in the diagram. The illustrations show their arrangement but do not dimension the maximum projection of every fitting, plug or attached connection beyond the tank body. Do not assume the body dimensions are the complete installed envelope or that the tanks can sit flush end to end.
Before planning an end-to-end installation, obtain the exact supplied fitting layout and overall projection, and allow for the selected connectors, hoses, routing, access and tank support. Confirm the configuration against the part number rather than choosing solely by gallon capacity or a similar photograph. A tank-only catalog option does not establish current availability or approval for custom port work.
No longer version with the same 12-by-12-inch cross-section, custom blank-tank service or black potable-water version is confirmed by these references. Tank color alone is not an algae-control guarantee, and a black waste tank is not a potable-water substitute. Use current product pages for availability and send the required envelope and connection layout to our team for review before ordering.
