Snyder Industries 2 Inch PVC Siphon Tube with EPDM Gasket (Sch 40)

The 2 Inch PVC Siphon Tube with EPDM Gasket is a Schedule 40 PVC fitting from Snyder Industries, built to draw water down to the low point of a polyethylene storage tank so you can pull usable volume instead of stranding it above the outlet. At roughly 2 in nominal diameter and about 9 in long, it turns a bottom or side port into an effective bottom-draw for gravity feed, transfer pumps, and irrigation lines. The seal is a reusable EPDM gasket, and the whole assembly weighs about 2 pounds.

The specs, at a glance

Schedule 40 PVC body, EPDM gasket, 2 in nominal diameter, roughly 9 in long, about 2 lb. This is an ambient-temperature water-service fitting — no chemical, temperature, or certification rating is listed, so it should be specified as water-only. It gives you a clean gasketed joint rather than a glued, permanent fit, which means you can service or reposition it later.

Does it work for your setup

Match the 2 in connection to the actual outlet on your tank before ordering, and confirm that port is set up to accept a 2 in siphon assembly. The bulkhead fitting that penetrates the tank wall is a separate purchase — the EPDM gasket supplied here seals the siphon joint, not the tank penetration itself, so plan both parts. Because a siphon tube changes where water is drawn from inside the tank, it pairs naturally with volume planning: if you are still deciding reservoir capacity and draw height, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you match tank size to your daily draw.

The mistake to avoid

The two common errors are chemistry and diameter. PVC and EPDM are a specific water-service pairing — do not carry a water siphon tube over to acid, oxidizer, or solvent storage without confirming resin and elastomer compatibility for that exact fluid. And order to the actual port size on your tank, not the fill or vent opening: a diameter mismatch is the most frequent return on a fitting like this. Check the technical drawing on this page against your outlet before you install.

This siphon tube ships LTL, quoted live to your ZIP. Snyder produces from plants in Lincoln, NE, Marked Tree, AR, Merced, CA, and Philippi, WV, so freight moves from the location nearest you. Because it is only about 2 pounds, a siphon tube like this often rides most economically as part of a larger tank order rather than shipping solo — worth combining if you are already buying a tank.
