A drain assembly for a tank or containment vessel of the type having a flexible and removable interior liner. The drain assembly comprises a drain intake in fluid communication with a wall traversing portion. The drain intake is operatively deployable in proximity to the bottom of the tank and the wall traversing portion is operatively deployable through a wall of the tank. The wall traversing portion includes a conduit portion in fluid communication with the drain intake and with a location exterior to the tank. The conduit portion includes an interior stopper plate and a threaded portion. The drain assembly includes a hammer nut threadably receivable over the threaded portion when the conduit portion is received through the wall of the tank such that tightening the hammer nut upon the threaded portion causes the hammer nut to engage the exterior of the tank wall causing the stopper plate to compress the tank liner against the interior surface of the tank wall thereby securing the drain assembly to the tank wall and helping to prevent the unintentional leakage of the contents of the tank through the tank wall.
Un ensemble vidange pour réservoir ou enceinte de confinement du type ayant une chemise intérieure amovible et souple. Lensemble vidange comprend une entrée de vidange en communication fluidique avec une partie transparoi. Lentrée de vidange peut être déployée de manière fonctionnelle à proximité du fond du réservoir et la partie transparoi peut être déployée de manière fonctionnelle à travers une paroi du réservoir. La partie transparoi comprend une partie conduit en communication fluidique avec lentrée de vidange et un emplacement à lextérieur du réservoir. La partie conduit comprend une plaque de butée intérieure et une partie filetée. Lensemble vidange comprend un écrou à tête rectangulaire reçu par vissage sur la partie filetée lorsque la partie conduit est reçue à travers la paroi du réservoir de manière que le serrage de lécrou à tête rectangulaire sur la partie filetée fait en sorte que lécrou se met en prise sur lextérieur de la paroi du réservoir. La plaque de butée comprime alors la chemise du réservoir contre la surface intérieure de la paroi du réservoir, ce qui permet de fixer lensemble de vidange à la paroi du réservoir et daider à prévenir la fuite accidentelle du contenu du réservoir à travers la paroi du réservoir.
