Pool plumbing bulkhead fitting

The Hayward BFA1005TFS is a 1/2 inch bulkhead tank fitting built for pool and spa circulation systems. It connects female-threaded pipework on both sides of a tank wall. The PVC body and FKM gasket handle water treatment chemicals without degradation.

Curved or flat tank compatibility

This fitting mounts on curved or flat tank surfaces with no bolt holes required. Female NPT threads on the inside and outside accept standard 1/2 inch pipe nipples or adapters directly. The dark gray PVC finish resists UV exposure in outdoor installations.

Ready for chemical service

The FKM gasket seals against chlorine, bromine and salt-water chemistry at temperatures between 40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Rated for 150 psi at 70 degrees Fahrenheit, it meets typical residential pool pump pressures without additional reinforcement.

Questions about this item

What does the 1/2" FNPT x FNPT thread interface mean for practical pipe connections?

Both sides use 1/2 inch female National Pipe Thread so you screw male-threaded pipe or adapters directly into each end without extra couplings.

What tank wall thickness and hole size does this bulkhead fitting require to mount securely?

The fitting mounts through a single hole in curved or flat tank walls; the flange and FKM gasket seal against the surface without bolt holes.

How is the BFA1005TFS installed and which step do installers often miss?

Insert the body through the tank hole, seat the FKM gasket flat on the wall, then hand-tighten the locknut — skipping the gasket alignment causes leaks at 150 psi.
