There are several ways to handle outlets with a drop in liner. Our recommendation as the best method is the use of a bulkhead fitting. A bulkhead fitting eliminates the need to fabricate a pass through outlet in the liner and avoids any potential failures of a fabricated outlet.

One of the features of a drop in liner is that the PVC liner is not bonded directly to the tank or substrate wall. Besides the benefits of not having to sand blast, do extensive prep work, install the liner yourself, no cure time, etc., by not being bonded there is a natural space between the liner and the tank wall that allows for easy leak detection versus a bonded liner or applied coating systems. There are several leak detection systems that are simple to install and very inexpensive to incorporate with your drop in liner.

Unfortunately accidents happen. Accidents can happen to flexible PVC tank liners as well. Sometimes an operator can drop something sharp on a liner, or a liner can be unfolded when still cold, or something heavy with a sharp edge can be dragged across a floor liner, or a heater could burn a hole in a liner. No matter what the cause of the damage, one of the benefits to a Witt drop in PVC tank liner is that it can be quickly and easily repaired.

Prior to our invention of the Wittclip™ fasteners the most common method of securing a drop in liner in a tank was with a drawstring rope. The problem with the drawstring rope is that it doesn’t securely lock the tank liner to the lip of the tank. When the tank is filled with solution it can pull the liner into the tank and greatly affect the fit. The bigger a liner gets the more prominent this problem becomes.
