Product identity

The Hayward BFA1010TFS is a one-inch FNPT bulkhead trap designed for pool and spa plumbing installations. It connects female-threaded pipe on both sides of a tank wall using PVC construction and an FKM gasket. The dark grey fitting suits curved or flat tank surfaces. It is intended for installers who need a straight-through drain connection.

Pressure and temperature limits

The fitting handles a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi measured at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Its rated temperature range spans from a minimum of 40 degrees Fahrenheit up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. No bolt holes are present, so sealing relies entirely on the threaded joints and gasket. The PVC body and FKM seal maintain integrity within these published limits.

Sustained service behaviour

Under continuous pressurised flow the PVC body and FKM gasket remain stable up to the 140-degree ceiling without bolt-hole reinforcement. The straight FNPT-by-FNPT path avoids flow restriction that could accelerate wear. Installers should verify chemical compatibility and support the piping independently because the fitting supplies no mechanical anchoring.

Questions about this item

How do I install the BFA1010TFS bulkhead fitting on a curved or flat tank wall, and what is the step people often miss?

Drill the correct hole size for the 1 in FNPT threads, place the supplied FKM gasket on the flange side, thread the fitting through the wall, and hand-tighten the back nut; the missed step is forgetting the gasket, which causes leaks at the tank wall.

What maintenance or replacement will the BFA1010TFS need over time?

The FKM gasket can harden or crack after repeated thermal cycles between 40 and 140 Degrees F; inspect it annually and replace the gasket if seepage appears around the flange.

What is the first limit the BFA1010TFS hits under sustained pressure and heat?

The 150 psi @ 70 Degrees F pressure rating drops as temperature rises toward 140 Degrees F, so the combined pressure-temperature limit is reached before the PVC body or threads fail.
