Use it as a pipe inlet from your gutter downspout or as an overflow that carries excess water away from the tank. It is offered in 3″ and 4″ sizes and is ordered together with your tank, where it is installed at the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTexas Metal Tanks recommends matching the overflow size to the inlet size so water moves through the system easily. A tank of 1,000 gallons or less usually collects from one downspout, where a 3″ inlet is typically fine; with 6″ gutters, or several downspouts piped together, go to 4″.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Schedule 40 PVC slip fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3″ or 4″\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pipe inlet or overflow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocations:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3:00, 9:00 or 12:00 on the tank (the Texas Metal Tanks logo is at 6:00)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Texas Metal Tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart numbers:\u003c\/strong\u003e TMT-PVC-3 (3″ PVC inlet or overflow); TMT-PVC-4 (4″ PVC inlet or overflow)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Schedule 40 PVC, slip connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003c\/strong\u003e Texas Metal Tanks galvanized and stainless steel cisterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShips From:\u003c\/strong\u003e Texas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePiped rainwater inlet from a gutter downspout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverflow that directs excess water away from the tank and the house\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich size should I choose?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMatch the inlet and overflow sizes.
