Fresh and Gray Water Tanks
Can you make me a custom tank?
We can make a custom tank
- You would need to prepay to have a mold made this ranges from $9,000 and up, lead time can be 8 weeks or more.
- You would need to place a prepaid PO of a qty of tanks per month/per year, your sales associate would confirm this number, before the mold would be made.
- You can fill-out our new Water Tank Build to get a quote on a custom tank.
Our Water Tank List is located at the top of each page with our current tanks.
Can I cut a hole in the tank and glue another fitting in?
Can I have the fittings moved or extras added?
No, fitting are spun welded into the tank, friction between the fitting and the tank causes both to melt and permanently seal, no additional glues or sealants are used to install the fittings. The residue left by putting the fittings in place is part of the material the tanks and fittings are made from and may spider crack or flake off over time, this in no way harms the tank or causes any usage issues. To add fittings or repair a damaged fitting we now offer Uniseal Fittings which allow you to put a fitting in any location, sizes range from .5" - 3"
We only offer custom fittings on water tanks if ordering a qty of 50+ tanks (single type of tank) per order. Uniseal Fittings allow you to place a fitting in any location on a water tank.
How do I get the large fitting out? Are these punch out fittings?
Each tank will come with at least one vent hole made during the manufacturing process (this is not the vent hole for when using the tank), a permanently mounted patch is placed over this hole, this is not a fitting and does not unscrew.
Blank Tanks
Blank Tanks mean no fittings are installed in tank. You will need to verify the lead time on Blank Tanks as we spin the fittings into our tanks as soon as they are made.

Why is there no NSF logo in the tank?
Class A Customs was required to remove the NSF logo from all water tanks in June 2020, the tanks continue to be made from the same NSF Certified Materials, built in the same way, built on the same machines, and built in the same building here at Class A Customs. The NSF Company does not allow for end users of NSF Certified Materials to use the NSF logo unless each kind of item that is produced has a certification paid for each year. This would mean every style of tank we make, even though they are made using the same NSF Certified Materials, made in the same process, made on the same machine, we would need to pay to use the logo on each item every year.All of Class A Customs Fresh/Gray water tanks are manufactured using DOW NSF International NSF/ANSI Std 61 approved Medium Density Polyethylene (MDPE) Resin Because Class A Customs was verified to used and continues to use NSF Certified Materials to build our tanks we are allow to link directly to the NSF website materials page and are allowed to state the tanks are made from NSF Certified Materials.
