Bulkhead Tank Fitting 3 Inch PVC

This PVC bulkhead tank fitting provides a 3 inch female threaded connection on both the inside and outside faces. It is designed for installation on curved or flat tank walls and uses an FKM gasket for sealing. The fitting suits fluid-handling systems that require a straight-through bulkhead penetration.

Pressure and Temperature Limits

The fitting is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi and a maximum operating temperature of 140 Degrees F. The minimum operating temperature is 40 Degrees F, so the assembly remains functional in cool environments. These limits define the safe envelope for continuous service in water or chemical transfer applications.

Replaces Worn or Leaking Bulkheads

This part replaces an existing 3 inch PVC bulkhead fitting that has cracked, warped or developed a gasket leak. The upgrade is worth it when the tank wall thickness matches the original design and the system operates within the stated pressure and temperature range. It is not for installations that require bolt-hole flanges or a different connection size.

  • Reliable seal with FKM gasket material
  • Handles 150 psi maximum operating pressure
  • Operates from 40 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit

Questions about this item

How much heat can the PVC bulkhead fitting handle during continuous operation?

The fitting is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F and a minimum of 40 degrees F, so it will withstand typical hot‑water circulation without softening.

What pipe threads must already be present on the tank and the plumbing for this fitting to seal?

Both the inside and outside connections are 3‑inch female pipe threads (FPT), so the tank wall and the mating pipe each need a matching 3‑inch male thread.

Will the 150 psi pressure rating hold up on an older PVC tank system that sees pressure spikes?

The bulkhead is rated to 150 psi maximum operating pressure, which covers normal municipal and pump pressures; pressure spikes above that level could exceed the design limit.
