316 Stainless Steel Tank Outlet Fittings – BSP Threaded
Description
These 316 stainless steel tank outlet fittings provide a durable threaded connection point for tanks, drums and other compatible vessels. Supplied with seals or gaskets, they can be installed through the vessel wall to provide convenient internal and external threaded connections for pipework, valves, fittings and hoses.
Manufactured from 316 stainless steel for excellent corrosion resistance, these heavy-duty tank outlets feature BSP threads and are available in a range of sizes.
316 Stainless Steel Tank Outlet Fittings
Designed to create a threaded outlet through the wall of a tank, drum or compatible vessel, these fittings provide a simple solution for connecting valves, pipework, hose fittings and other BSP threaded components.
The supplied seals or gaskets allow the fitting to seal against the vessel wall and can accommodate gently curved tank surfaces where the curvature is not excessive.
Key Features
- Heavy-duty tank outlet fitting
- 316 stainless steel construction
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- BSP threaded connections
- External male thread
- Internal female thread
- Supplied with seals or gaskets
- Suitable for compatible tanks, drums and vessels
- Can be installed on flat or gently curved vessel walls
- Allows connection of compatible valves, pipework, fittings and hoses

Tank, Drum & Vessel Installation
The tank outlet fitting is installed through a suitable opening in the wall of the tank or vessel. The supplied sealing components create the seal around the penetration when correctly installed.
These fittings may also be installed on gently curved tank walls, provided the surface curvature is not too great for the seals to seat and compress correctly.
Internal & External BSP Threads
Each tank outlet incorporates both an external male BSP thread and an internal female BSP thread. This provides flexibility when connecting compatible valves, hose fittings, pipework and other threaded components.
Understanding the Sizes
Tank outlet sizes are listed as:
Outside Male Thread x Inside Female Thread
For example, a 3/4" x 1/2" tank outlet has:
- 3/4" BSP external male thread
- 1/2" BSP internal female thread
Check both thread sizes against the components being connected before selecting your tank outlet fitting.
316 Stainless Steel Construction
Manufactured from 316 stainless steel, these fittings provide excellent corrosion resistance and durability for demanding tank and fluid-transfer installations.
Always confirm that 316 stainless steel and the supplied sealing materials are chemically compatible with the fluid being stored or transferred.
Typical Applications
- Water tanks
- Storage tanks
- Drums
- Process vessels
- Fluid transfer systems

Installation Notes
Ensure the tank or vessel wall is suitable for installation and that the mounting surface allows the supplied seals to seat correctly. Do not install across sharp curves, irregular surfaces or areas where the fitting cannot be adequately supported and sealed.
Confirm thread size, fitting material and seal compatibility with the intended fluid and operating conditions before installation.
