tank fittings

[ebourassa]

I have an old stienhorst milk tank 400 gal, I cant seem to find a fitting that goes on it. It is a flared fitting with thread. It not standard pipe thread, the thread are bigger and wider, seem to me to be a 1-3/4 thread. Wondering if anybody knows where i can find this.
Thank you

Welcome to the milk tank world. The only valve that will fit is a milk tank value for about $150.
Or you can do like the rest of us. Just take a valve of your size. Insurte a short pipe in one end and use a rubber coulping ( forgot what you call them ) And clamp it over the valve threads and your valve.

I think you're referring to "Fernco" fittings,any hardware store will have them,they come in real handy!

That is what I was going to do if I didnt find anything.
Thanks for all your help
