Pool Bulkhead Fitting 1-1/4

The Hayward BFA1012CES is a PVC bulkhead tank fitting designed for 1-1/4 inch pipe connections. It features a gray body with FNPT x Socket connection types and an EPDM gasket for reliable sealing in pool and spa plumbing systems.

Replaces worn drain components

This fitting replaces damaged or leaking bulkhead connections in tank walls up to 2 inches thick. The upgrade is worth it when the existing fitting shows cracks, thread damage, or gasket failure that causes water loss or pressure drops.

PVC material limits

The PVC body handles temperatures from 40 to 140 degrees F and maximum pressure of 150 psi. It requires a 2 21/32 inch hole for installation and suits static plumbing runs rather than high-vibration or extreme-temperature applications.
