4 in FNPT Bulkhead Fitting

The Hayward BFA2040TES is a CPVC bulkhead tank fitting designed for 4 inch pipe connections. It uses FNPT x FNPT threading for direct installation into tank walls. The light gray body suits pool and plumbing systems requiring a watertight pass-through. Builders needing other pipe sizes or connection types must choose a different model.

150 psi pressure rating and 2.45 in wall capacity

The fitting handles up to 150 psi and accommodates tank walls up to 2.45 inches thick. An EPDM gasket seals the 5 3/4 inch required hole. It operates reliably between 40 and 190 degrees Fahrenheit. Installations exceeding these pressure, temperature or wall limits will need alternative hardware.

FNPT interface and CPVC material limits

The FNPT threads mate with standard tapered pipe threads but cannot join to solvent-weld or flanged connections without adapters. CPVC construction resists corrosion yet is not rated for continuous service above 190 degrees Fahrenheit. Systems using higher temperatures or different thread standards require separate transition fittings.

Questions about this item

Will the 4 in FNPT threads on this bulkhead trap connect directly to my existing 4 in schedule 40 PVC piping?

Yes, the FNPT x FNPT connections are cut to 4 in nominal pipe size so standard male NPT fittings or threaded adapters will engage without extra machining.

How can I confirm the trap is sealed and draining correctly once installed?

Pressurise the line up to 150 psi and watch for leaks at the EPDM gasket; water should flow freely through the 5 3/4 in body with no air pockets or back-up.

Does the box include the EPDM gasket and any lock-nuts, or must I buy them separately?

The fitting ships with its EPDM gasket already seated; lock-nuts or flange hardware for the 5 3/4 in hole are not included and must be sourced separately.
