What is a 22mm Straight Overflow Tank Connector used for?
A straight overflow tank connector is a specialized plumbing fitting used to create a secure discharge point through the wall of a water storage tank, header tank, or toilet cistern. Unlike the bent version, the straight configuration is used when the overflow pipe can exit directly away from the tank without needing an immediate turn, providing the most efficient flow rate for excess water.
Why a Reliable Tank Fitting is Essential
In plumbing, the tank connector is often the only thing preventing a minor overflow from becoming a major flood. Our 22mm straight fitting is engineered to handle the pressure of a rising water line. By utilizing a compression-style seal—where the rubber washer is squeezed against the tank wall by the tightening of the back-nut—it creates a mechanical bond that is far more reliable than sealant alone.
Engineered for Longevity
At ECO HEAT SHOP, we understand that these fittings are often tucked away in lofts or cupboards for years. That’s why our connectors are made from premium white PVC that resists chemical corrosion from treated water and remains structurally sound even in varying temperatures. The smooth internal bore prevents “furring” or mineral buildup, ensuring that if your ball valve ever fails, the overflow will be ready to work instantly.
