From downpipe to tank —
one clean, sealed connection.

No more ragged holes cut into water tanks. The Pro Clean-Fit Inlet joins your gutter downpipe neatly to your tank and seals the opening — so leaves, insects and mosquitoes from outside can't get in around it.

Why this fitting

Until now, there was no proper fitting for this connection. Every tank owner made do with a rough hole and hoped for the best.

A professional, sealed connection is the new standard. There's no longer any excuse for a rough cut.
A rough cut damages your tank

A ragged, oversized opening weakens and degrades the tank wall at exactly the point that works hardest. The Clean-Fit flange spreads the load and finishes the opening properly.

An open hole is an open door

Leaves, dust, insects, mosquitoes — even small lizards — find their way in around a rough connection. The Clean-Fit seals the opening completely: only what comes down the pipe enters your tank.

A finish you're proud to look at

Your water tank is an investment in your home or farm. The connection to it should look engineered, not improvised — a neat, purpose-made fitting instead of a hole and a hope.

The difference

See it for yourself.
Drag the slider.

On the left, the old way: a rough hole hacked into the tank. On the right, the same job done with a Pro Clean-Fit Inlet — sealed, neat and made to last.

Before After

Engineered properly

Three things done right

One fitting, three jobs: connect the downpipe, seal the tank opening, and survive the weather.

Fits your downpipe, seals your tank

Five variants cover domestic and industrial aluminium gutters, 80 mm and 110 mm round PVC, and square PVC downpipes. Every inlet ships with 10 stainless screws and a cutting template for a neat, accurate installation.

A completely sealed opening

An open or roughly cut hole lets in leaves, dust, insects and mosquitoes from the environment. The Clean-Fit flange seals the opening completely — only what comes down the pipe enters the tank. Add the matching lid for even more protection.

Built for African sun

Printed in UV-stabilised ASA thermoplastic — a material chosen for harsh outdoor life. No brittleness, no chalking, no early failure. Engineered for 15+ years in direct South African sun.

In the box

One box. Everything you need.

No hunting for the right screws, no guessing the cut. Every Pro Clean-Fit Inlet ships as a complete installation kit.

The Pro Clean-Fit Inlet

UV-stabilised ASA fitting with a wide sealing flange that closes the tank opening completely.

Precision cutting template

Trace it, cut it, done — the opening comes out the right size and shape every time. No measuring, no guesswork.

10 × stainless-steel screws

Rust-free fixings, counted and bagged — enough to seat the flange evenly for a complete seal.

Nothing else to buy — fit it the day it arrives.

Installation

Fitted in five simple steps

Everything you need is in the box. All you add is a jigsaw or utility knife, a drill and about twenty minutes.

Position the template

Hold the included cutting template against the tank where the downpipe meets it, and mark the opening.

Cut the opening

Cut along your marked line. The template guarantees the right size and shape — no guesswork.

Seat the inlet

Place the Clean-Fit Inlet into the opening so the flange sits flat and snug against the tank.

Fix with the stainless screws

Secure the flange with the 10 stainless-steel screws provided — evenly, for a complete seal around the opening.

Connect the downpipe

Slide the downpipe into the inlet. Done — a clean, sealed, professional connection.
