1" PVC Bulkhead Fitting

This one-inch bulkhead fitting connects pipework through a tank wall using female NPT threads on both sides. The gray PVC body suits curved or flat tank surfaces and includes an EPDM gasket for a watertight seal. It is intended for plumbing systems that require a straight-through bulkhead connection.

150 psi at 70 °F pressure limit

The fitting handles a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi measured at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Service temperatures must stay between 40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit to maintain material integrity. These boundaries define the safe envelope for the PVC and EPDM components in continuous use.

Female NPT on both ports

Both the inside and outside connections are one-inch female NPT threads, so the fitting accepts male-threaded pipe or adapters directly. No bolt holes are present, meaning the joint relies on thread engagement and the supplied gasket alone. Verify that your piping uses matching NPT threads before installation.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the BFA1010TES or a different bulkhead fitting size?

The BFA1010TES is a 1-inch FNPT x FNPT PVC fitting with an EPDM gasket rated for 150 psi at 70 °F and a 40–140 °F operating range. Select it when your tank port and piping are both 1-inch female NPT; otherwise choose the matching size.

What does the 150 psi rating mean once the fitting is installed in my tank?

It indicates the maximum continuous pressure the PVC body and EPDM seal can withstand at 70 °F; at higher temperatures the allowable pressure drops, so design your system to stay below 150 psi at the actual water temperature.

How does the FNPT x FNPT threaded interface limit what I can connect?

Both ports are 1-inch female NPT, so you must use male NPT nipples or adapters; the threads set the mechanical seal and the 150 psi pressure ceiling, and no solvent-weld or flanged connection is possible without extra fittings.
