Abstract: An insertion apparatus and method is provided. In one embodiment, an insertion apparatus is disclosed having an insertion guide including an insertion guide housing having a guide passage, a guide seal packing disposed in the insertion guide, a guide flange extending outwardly from the insertion guide housing to form a guide seal surface; and a coupling nut. The coupling nut is disposed on the insertion guide housing and has a coupling nut passage. The insertion guide housing extends through the coupling nut passage. The coupling nut is configured to provide an insertion apparatus union joint where the guide seal surface is used in forming the insertion apparatus union joint.

Abstract: A tank fitting apparatus and method is provided. The tank fitting apparatus includes a bottom plate apparatus. The bottom plate apparatus includes a bottom plate having a bottom surface, a top surface, and a bottom plate passageway. The bottom plate apparatus further includes a bolt connected to the bottom plate and extending from the top surface of the bottom plate. The tank fitting apparatus further includes a valve apparatus. The valve apparatus includes a pipe and a valve integrally formed with the pipe. The valve is movable between an open valve position and a closed valve position. A top plate integrally formed on the pipe and extends outwardly from the pipe. The valve apparatus has a connected tank fitting position where the bolt of the bottom plate apparatus extends through the top plate of the valve apparatus to connect the valve apparatus with the bottom plate apparatus.
