Bulkhead Fitting for Pool Plumbing

The Hayward BFA2005TES is a CPVC bulkhead tank fitting designed for 1/2 inch FNPT connections on both sides. It fits a 1 3/8 inch hole and seals with an EPDM gasket. The light gray body suits pool and spa installations where chemical resistance matters.

Sustained Pressure and Temperature Performance

Rated for 150 psi maximum pressure, the fitting maintains seal integrity under continuous system load rather than only brief test spikes. CPVC construction handles water temperatures from 40 to 190 degrees Fahrenheit without softening or cracking during extended heater cycles.

Direct Replacement for Aged CPVC Bulkheads

This part replaces a worn 1/2 inch CPVC bulkhead when threads strip, gaskets weep or the body cracks from years of chlorinated water. The upgrade is worth it when the existing fitting leaks at the tank wall or cannot hold the 150 psi rating any longer.

Questions about this item

Does the CPVC body handle continuous 150 psi pressure without leaking?

Yes, the CPVC bulkhead is rated for a maximum of 150 psi and a temperature range of 40 to 190 degrees F, so it will hold constant pressure within those limits.

Which gasket and pipe threads are needed to seal the 1/2 in FNPT connections?

The fitting uses an EPDM gasket and requires 1/2 inch FNPT threaded pipe on both sides; no other gasket material or thread type will seal correctly.

Will this bulkhead fit through the existing 1 3/8 in hole in my tank wall?

The required hole size is exactly 1 3/8 in and the maximum wall thickness is 2.08 in, so it fits standard openings that match those dimensions.
