Tank fitting for curved or flat walls

The Hayward Flow Control BFA3015TES is a bulkhead tank fitting built for 1-1/2 inch female pipe thread connections on both sides. Polypropylene construction with an EPDM gasket suits water and chemical tanks that have curved or flat walls. It is intended for installers who need a straight-through bulkhead penetration without bolt-hole flanges.

Polypropylene body and EPDM seal

The polypropylene body resists corrosion from many acids, bases and salts, while the EPDM gasket provides a reliable seal across the stated temperature range. No additional gaskets, lubricants or mounting hardware are included, so the installer must supply any thread sealant or backing nuts required by the specific tank wall thickness.

Pressure and temperature limits

The fitting is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi and a maximum operating temperature of 180 degrees F, with a minimum of 40 degrees F. These limits define the safe envelope for continuous service; exceeding either value can cause the polypropylene to creep or the EPDM to degrade, leading to leaks or fitting failure.

Questions about this item

Will the EPDM gasket on this bulkhead fitting need periodic replacement?

The EPDM gasket seals the 1-1/2 inch connection and is rated for 40 to 180 degrees F; inspect it during routine tank maintenance and replace if it shows cracking or hardening.

What pressure limit governs continuous service for the 1-1/2 inch polypropylene body?

Maximum operating pressure is 150 psi, so sustained use must stay at or below that value to avoid stress on the threaded female ports.

How much heat does the fitting add when water runs at 150 psi all day?

The polypropylene body and EPDM gasket are rated to 180 degrees F; the fitting itself generates no heat, but fluid temperature must remain within that range.
