Frequently Asked Questions
How do I install a spinweld fitting on my RV tank?
Spinweld fittings require specialized heat-fusion equipment that melts the fitting base and tank material together, creating a permanent molecular bond. This installation method is typically performed by professional tank manufacturers or mobile RV technicians with spinweld tools. The process involves drilling a precise 2" hole in your tank, positioning the fitting, and using a spinweld tool to fuse it in place. DIY installation is not recommended without proper equipment.
Is this fitting compatible with my RV's fresh water tank?
Yes, the CPI 1-1/2" FPT spinweld fitting is designed for use with RV fresh water tanks, grey water tanks, and black water holding tanks. The food-grade custom plastics material is safe for potable water applications and resistant to the chemicals found in waste water systems. Verify that your tank has a 2" hole opening and requires a 1-1/2" female threaded connection.
What's the difference between FPT and MPT fittings?
FPT stands for Female Pipe Thread (internal threads), while MPT stands for Male Pipe Thread (external threads). This Part #56 fitting has female threads on the inside, so it accepts male threaded pipes, valves, or adapters. If you need to connect a female threaded component, you would need an MPT (male) fitting instead.
Can I use this fitting to replace a damaged tank fitting?
Replacing a spinweld fitting requires cutting out the old fitting and spinwelding a new one in place, which requires professional equipment and expertise. If your existing fitting is damaged, consult with a mobile RV technician or tank repair specialist who has spinweld capabilities. Attempting to remove and replace spinweld fittings without proper tools can damage your tank.
What size hole do I need to drill in my tank for this fitting?
This fitting requires a 2" diameter hole in your tank wall. Use a hole saw or step drill bit to create a clean, precise opening. Ensure the tank surface is clean, flat, and free of debris before spinweld installation. The fitting's flange will cover the hole perimeter and create a watertight seal when properly installed.
Is this fitting resistant to RV holding tank chemicals?
Yes, the custom plastics material used in CPI fittings is engineered to resist common RV holding tank chemicals, deodorizers, and waste treatment products. The fitting will not degrade, crack, or corrode when exposed to typical RV sanitation chemicals, making it ideal for long-term use in black water and grey water tank applications.
