BLIND BULKHEAD FITTING
A blind bulkhead fitting is configured for installation into a tank or vessel from an exterior side of the tank. The blind bulkhead fitting permits installation when the interior of the tank is not accessible. In one embodiment, the blind bulkhead fitting includes an inner fitting, an inner nut, and an outer fitting. Traditional plumbing fixtures may be attached to the outer fitting. Threads on the components of the fitting are designed to cause a tightening of the fitting when a fixture is attached to the outer fitting.

Above ground water tank fill/drain system
A trench is dug under an above ground water storage tank either before erection of the walls or after the wall is erected. A (rectangular) sump is preferably made of ? inch steel. It serves as a conduit from an inner tank liner port to an outside tank fill or drain port. The system eliminates hoses hung over the top edge of the tank wall. A pump can fill the tank from the outer port. The tank can be drained using head pressure of the water and/or a pump.
Air distributor
An air distributor may include a thin-wall main pipe (10) and branch pipes (48) distributed on the main pipe. The branch pipes may be symmetrically fixed on the main pipe by locking device disposed in the main pipe. Welding is not needed, and disassembly and maintenance are easy. The main pipe is thin-wall pipe, therefore the weight of the device is greatly reduced, and the production cost is decreased.
