Tank Fitting for PVC Systems

This Hayward Flow Control bulkhead fitting connects pipework through tank walls using a 1-1/2 inch socket on both sides. The PVC body and FKM gasket handle liquids up to 150 psi and temperatures between 40 and 140 Degrees F. It suits curved or flat tank surfaces without bolt holes.

For Plumbing Installers Not Gas Lines

Installers joining PVC pipe to a tank bulkhead will find the socket connections straightforward. The FKM seal resists many chemicals but is not rated for steam or extreme heat. Anyone needing a flanged, threaded or metal-body fitting should look at alternative designs.

150 psi Pressure Rating Decides Fit

The maximum operating pressure of 150 psi is the single figure that determines whether this fitting matches the system design. Exceeding that limit risks joint failure. Confirm the service pressure before specifying this part.

Questions about this item

How much heat can the PVC body and FKM gasket take during continuous use?

The fitting is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 140 Degrees F and a minimum of 40 Degrees F, so it handles typical hot-water loops within that range.

What pipe or adapter do I need to connect to the 1-1/2 inch socket ends?

Both the inside and outside connections are 1-1/2 inch female sockets, so you solvent-weld standard 1-1/2 inch PVC pipe or a male adapter into each side.

Will the 150 psi pressure rating hold on an older tank with thinner walls?

The bulkhead itself is rated to 150 psi; ensure the tank wall thickness and material can support that pressure at the 1-1/2 inch cut-out before installation.
