Inductor Cone Bottom Bulk Storage Tanks
When the description says full drain or boss fitting, these tanks have an NPT thread molded onto the bottom of the tank. These come in either 1-1/2" FPT or 2" MPT. Because it is molded in as part of the tank, nothing prevents all of the liquid from draining.
When the description says 2" FPT fitting, these tanks have bulkhead fittings installed in the bottom. These are all 2" FPT. These tanks do not allow the tank to drain completely because when the bulkhead fitting is installed, it sticks up and is not flush with the bottom. A small amount of liquid is then left on the bottom around the bulkhead.
