When I bought my 2500 liter tank it came with a filter, valve, vent and a fill/shutoff device. The valve that it came with was already reduced to 3/4"
and 1/2" depending on which fitting you used. It had both. Not sure what came with yours, but the tank itself is threaded 1 1/2" and then the valve
and filter screw into that. My tank is a black Rotoplas, a little over 5' tall, with a tapered top and a lid about 14 or 15" in diameter. Just to let
you know what type of tank I am talking about. Pretty common tank, white on the inside.

PS At first I thought you were asking about a cement pila, which could have almost any fitting the builder happened to have laying around.

Locally, in southern Baja, "pilas" are large, concrete, water tanks that can typically hold the entire contents of one to two water trucks. The black
plastic Rotoplas tanks are locally called "tinacas" (sp). And, the bigger blue plastic tanks are called "cisternas".
FWIW

Thanks for the clarification, I always figured "pila" was any water tank that supplied water to the house. My spanish is rudimentary at best. I can
ask questions but the answers usually go misunderstood.
