Water storage tank leak
I have this tank in the roof space. Not sure if it's plastic or
fibre-glass, because it's texture in parts is very uneven, not what I imagine a moulded PVC tank would usually be like. There's an obsolete 15mm outlet that used to supply a shower unit. For some reason, maybe to maximise the pressure, the hole for this outlet is very close to the bottom edge of the tank, leaving little room for any flanged fittings that might be used to seal the hole. The current union with the tank is a male threaded fitting that's just screwed into the wall of the tank after being wrapped in PTFE tape. I could try renewing this with fresh tape but I'd prefer to make a more solid repair. Can anyone suggest an effective method? Thanks, -- Bill Haines |
