Overflow Straight Ribbed Fitting 19mm

Overflow Straight Ribbed Fitting 19mm (Reference: 100050) from Multitanks represents the reference technical solution for controlled overflow evacuation in your 1000-liter IBC tanks. This professional-quality accessory ensures optimal management of your water reserves while preserving the integrity of your storage installation.

Applications and benefits

This overflow is primarily designed for IBC tank owners who want to automate their water reserve management. It finds its place in numerous configurations: rainwater harvesting systems, water storage for irrigation, agricultural installations, and industrial applications requiring precise water level control.

The 19mm diameter straight ribbed fitting allows direct connection with most standard garden hoses and drainage systems. This versatility makes it a preferred choice for gardeners, farmers, and water professionals seeking a reliable and economical solution to prevent costly overflows.

Technical design and materials

Manufactured from polypropylene and polyethylene, this overflow benefits from exceptional resistance to UV, thermal variations, and corrosion. These food-grade plastic materials guarantee extended service life even outdoors, without altering the quality of stored water.

The ribbed design of the fitting ensures a watertight and secure connection with drainage hoses. The ribs create an optimal gripping surface that resists pressure and movement, preventing accidental disconnections. This proven technical design guarantees reliable long-term operation.

The integrated fixing system adapts perfectly to polyethylene IBC tank walls, ensuring perfect sealing once installed. The studied geometry of the fitting minimizes turbulence and optimizes water flow.

Installation and commissioning

Installing this overflow requires prior drilling of the tank using a hole saw of appropriate diameter. Position the overflow at the desired height on the side of your IBC tank, generally 10-15 cm from the top to maintain a safety reserve while maximizing storage capacity.

Precisely mark the hole location, taking care to avoid the tank's reinforcement ribs. Use a quality hole saw to obtain a clean and regular cut. After drilling, carefully deburr the edges to guarantee perfect sealing.

Assembly is performed by inserting the overflow from inside the tank, then screwing on the external part. Check sealing by progressively filling the tank to the overflow level. Then connect your drainage hose to the ribbed fitting using a hose clamp for permanent fixing.

Expert advice and optimization

To maximize your installation's efficiency, orient the drainage hose with a downward slope of at least 2% to guarantee optimal gravity flow. This precaution prevents water stagnation in the hose and backflow problems.

When purchasing, consider simultaneously acquiring a leaf filter from Multitanks to protect your system from plant debris. This product synergy extends your installation's service life and reduces maintenance. A stainless steel hose clamp will perfectly complete your installation for professional fixing of the drainage hose.

For seasonal installations, remember to drain the overflow before freezing periods to prevent water expansion and cracking risks. For intensive use, regularly check the sealing condition and free circulation in the drainage hose.

Professionals particularly appreciate the possibility of installing multiple overflows at different heights to create a tiered water reserve management system, thus optimizing the use of their IBC tanks.
