Could anyone help me out i am wondering how you go about adding a discharge or say a fill connection to my tank standard 325 gal round tank with the four legs so to speak. Only have the large i think 2 1/2 inch connection on the one side have it reduced to 3/4 and thats everything has a "T" fitting so i use that for the fill and for discharge want to make this a large dump and put fill with a float valve on top now i just need to make another discharge Any Help?

We install tank adapters** in sizes from 1/2" to 3" for
dump valve we typically install a 1+1/2" to 2" slide valve
for dumping the tank.

You will need a hole saw for drilling the holes in tank for
thetank adapter.

I see what your saying mark but i guess what i was trying to figure out was since i cant get inside the tank and my arms dont reach inside of the tank to the bottom how do you get the fitting into the hole from the inside the male end from the inside out right? i am guessing you have to be creative but was just wondering.
