Wydale tank fitting
« on: December 20, 2019, 08:06:39 am »
Good morning everyone.

I'm in the process of setting up a diy pressure washing/softwashing van pack. As straight forward as it is there are a few simple questions I have....if anyone could oblige. Firstly, I have a 2nd hand 800 litre wydale tank that has been used by a window cleaner. It has 3 outlets, all of which have small window cleaning type plastic connectors that are very thin. I think I know the answer but surely these are too small/thin to feed a pressure washer? If so, what fitting do I need?

2 of the outlets will be fine for the soft washing element.

I genuinely have lots of silly basic questions that would take forever to write down. Is there anyone who would be happy for me to ring them and bounce ideas/questions off?

Kind regards

Gray

Call me after Boxing Day 01482 805118  or 07778214483

How big is the actual hole on the tank? Are the fittings reduced? Can you unscrews them and fit a3/4inch (fitting which is what you need to feed a pressure washer)

If you search ‘plastic tank fittings’ on google you will find what you need you might have to drill a new hole in the tank And fit something like this ....

Thanks again

I am based near Leeds and could really do with someone helping me fit a new tank in my van. I have to be careful as the load is quite heavy but looking to install some up springs to increase load. If i was to get a larger tank anyone help me install it please?
