3-inch Bulkhead Tank Fitting

The Hayward Flow Control BFAS3030TES is a 3-inch bulkhead tank fitting designed for fluid-handling systems that require a through-wall connection. It suits installers working with curved or flat tank walls who need a female-threaded port on both sides of the barrier. The polypropylene body and EPDM gasket provide chemical compatibility for water and many aqueous solutions.

Pressure and Temperature Limits

This fitting carries a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi and operates between 40 and 180 degrees Fahrenheit. Systems that exceed either limit risk gasket failure or structural deformation. The zero bolt-hole pattern means the fitting relies on thread engagement and gasket compression alone for sealing.

Female Pipe Thread Connection

The single specification that determines fit is the 3-inch female pipe thread on both the inside and outside connections. Mating components must match this exact thread size and gender; adapters or reducers are required for any other pipe diameter or thread type.

Questions about this item

Should I choose a different size or material version of this bulkhead fitting?

This model is a 3 in polypropylene fitting with EPDM gaskets and female pipe threads on both sides; other sizes or materials would be separate part numbers.

What does the 150 psi pressure rating mean when the fitting is installed in a tank?

It indicates the maximum continuous internal pressure the fitting can withstand at up to 180 °F; system pressure must stay at or below 150 psi.

How do the female pipe threads affect what pipe or adapter I can connect?

Both the inside and outside connections are 3 in female pipe threads, so you need male-threaded pipe or adapters of the same size to join them.
