Bulkhead Fitting 1-1/4" Socket x Socket

The Hayward BFA1012SES is a PVC bulkhead tank fitting designed for 1-1/4 inch socket connections on both sides. It suits pool and spa plumbing installations where a watertight pass-through is required on curved or flat tank walls. The gray fitting uses an EPDM gasket and requires no bolt holes for mounting.

Pressure and Temperature Limits

This fitting is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. It functions within a temperature range of 40 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Performance outside these limits is not supported by the manufacturer data, so the fitting should not be used in high-pressure or extreme-temperature systems.

Capacity and System Fit

The 1-1/4 inch socket size determines the flow capacity and pipe compatibility for this component. It comfortably handles standard pool circulation lines of that diameter but cannot accept larger or smaller pipe sizes without adapters. Builders needing different connection sizes or threaded ends must select an alternative fitting.

Questions about this item

Is the 1-1/4 inch socket size on both ends the right choice for my plumbing run?

Yes, this fitting has a 1-1/4 inch socket connection on both the inside and outside, so it joins pipe of that exact size on either side of a tank wall.

What does the 150 psi rating at 70 degrees F mean for daily operation?

It is the maximum pressure the fitting can handle at that water temperature; at higher temperatures the allowable pressure drops.

How does the socket-by-socket interface affect the installation?

Both connections are solvent-weld sockets, so you glue pipe directly into each end without threading or adapters.
