3" Bulkhead Fitting for Tank Connections

The Hayward BFAS1030CES is a PVC bulkhead fitting designed to create a 3-inch pass-through on curved or flat tank walls. It suits pool professionals and maintenance teams who need a reliable drain or bulkhead connection in new installations or system upgrades.

Verify Tank Wall and Piping Compatibility

Confirm the tank wall thickness allows the fitting body to seat fully and that the 3-inch female threaded (FNPT) and 3-inch female socket connections match the existing plumbing schedule. The EPDM gasket is rated for water service between 40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit at up to 150 psi at 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

Integrates Directly Into Plumbing Networks

The socket end accepts a 3-inch pipe for solvent welding while the threaded end receives a male adapter or valve, letting the fitting bridge tank walls to external pipework. Gray PVC construction resists corrosion in chlorinated environments and the zero-bolt-hole design simplifies mounting on curved or flat surfaces without additional hardware.

Questions about this item

Does the BFAS1030CES come with the EPDM gasket and bolts, or must I buy them separately?

The fitting includes an EPDM gasket for the seal. It has zero bolt holes, so no bolts are required or supplied.

Should I select the 3-inch FNPT x Socket version or look for a different connection style for my tank?

This model provides a 3-inch female threaded inside connection and a 3-inch female socket outside connection; choose it when both ends must match those exact interfaces.

What does the 150 psi at 70 °F rating mean when the fitting is installed in a heated pool system?

At 70 °F water temperature the fitting handles 150 psi; pressure capacity decreases as temperature rises toward the 140 °F maximum, so design the system to stay within the derated limits at your actual operating temperature.
