Water tanker trucks are the backbone of operations on construction sites, farms, mining projects, and anywhere reliable water delivery is a must. But what keeps these machines running day in and day out? The answer lies in the parts—every fitting, hose, valve, and tank component working together to ensure efficiency, safety, and durability.
At Advantage Water Tanks, we don’t just assemble tanks—we manufacture them, along with the critical OEM parts that make them work. All our components are engineered in-house or through trusted U.S.-based suppliers to meet the rugged demands of real job sites.
In this guide, we’ll walk through the key OEM components of a water tanker system and why each plays a vital role in performance and longevity.
1. Heavy-Duty Water Tank (OEM Steel Construction)
The tank is the heart of the system. Ours are fabricated from high-strength steel for unbeatable durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term performance.
At Advantage Water Tanks, every tank is:
- Welded and tested in-house
- Built to handle off-road conditions and high-volume use
- Designed to integrate seamlessly with all related components
We don’t outsource our core products. These are true OEM tanks, engineered and manufactured by the experts.
2. Bulkhead Fittings: Precision Connections
Bulkhead fittings connect the tank to hoses, pumps, and plumbing systems. Because we manufacture and source these fittings ourselves, we guarantee
- Leak-proof performance
- Long-lasting durability under heavy vibration
- Perfect compatibility with our tanks and systems
These aren’t generic fittings—they’re designed to meet the same high standards as our tanks.
3. Clean-Out Access Ports: For Fast Maintenance
Keeping your tank clean prevents sediment buildup, clogs, and equipment wear. That’s why we build clean-out access ports directly into our tanks—not as an add-on, but as part of the OEM design.
This ensures:
- Easy access for flushing and cleaning
- Minimal downtime for maintenance
- Long-term protection of spray systems and valves
4. Sealing Components: Built-In Leak Prevention
From gaskets and plugs to PVC seals and PTFE tape, sealing components are critical to any tanker system. All seals used in Advantage builds are:
- OEM-grade materials chosen for durability
- Installed to withstand pressure, vibration, and harsh conditions
- Designed to complement the tank’s construction
No aftermarket guesswork—just professionally selected and installed parts for maximum integrity.
5. Valves: Easy, Reliable Water Control
Whether you need to dump water quickly or precisely spray an area, high-quality valves make it possible. We install OEM air and water valves that are:
- Built for high-flow performance
- Easy to operate and service
- Fully compatible with our tank plumbing layouts
Each valve we install has been tested and proven in the field to work seamlessly with our equipment.
6. Spray Heads and Suction Hoses: Accurate Water Delivery
Our OEM spray heads and suction hoses are made to last, offering:
- Even water distribution for dust control or irrigation
- Strong resistance to abrasion, UV, and chemicals
- Secure connections to tank and pump assemblies
We don’t settle for generic hardware—these parts are sized and selected to fit Advantage systems for efficient performance.
7. Anti-Siphon Fill Kits: Clean Water Protection
Backflow during refills can contaminate your water supply. That’s why we offer anti-siphon fill kits designed specifically for our tanks. These are:
- OEM-tested to ensure proper fit and function
- Simple to install and maintain
- Crucial for meeting clean water and job site safety standards
Why OEM Matters with Water Tanker Parts
All parts aren’t created equal. Here’s why using OEM parts—especially from a manufacturer like Advantage—makes all the difference:
- Guaranteed Fit: Designed to work together as one system
- Superior Quality: Built and tested for field conditions
- Faster Maintenance: No guesswork during repairs or upgrades
- Long-Term Reliability: Reduce risk of failure and downtime
When you choose Advantage, you’re getting a tank system where every part is engineered to do its job—and built to last.
