The Norwesco 50 Rectangular-B with 1 inch Fitting (MPN N-45880) is a polyethylene or stainless-steel tank-mount fitting used in the field to add or replace plumbed connections on a tank installation.
Design
- Single tank fitting sold as a stand-alone accessory — installs through a drilled hole in the tank wall
- Threaded or bolted-flange connection sized to the OEM specification
- Gasket may be included or sold separately depending on the kit configuration
- Material selection (polyethylene, polypropylene, stainless steel, brass) determines chemical compatibility
Installation
Install through a drilled and sized hole in the tank wall per the fitting manufacturer's instructions. Confirm gasket inclusion before installation. Torque-spec varies by material — over-torque cracks rotomolded polyethylene walls; under-torque leaks under hydrostatic load.
Common applications
- Field installation of a new inlet, outlet, drain, or vent port on a polyethylene tank
- Replacement of a corroded, cracked, or leaking original-equipment tank fitting
- Retrofit of a tank purchased "less fittings" to the user's specific plumbing configuration
- Upgrade from a threaded to bolted-flange connection (or vice versa) on an existing tank
Compatibility & compliance
Material compatibility determines service rating — verify the fitting's material against the chemistry, temperature, and pressure requirements of the application before installation.
