Pool drain bulkhead fitting

The Hayward BFA1020CES is a 2-inch PVC bulkhead tank fitting designed for pool and spa plumbing systems. It connects a female threaded interior port to a female socket exterior port on curved or flat tank walls. The EPDM gasket provides a watertight seal without bolt holes. This component suits installers and maintenance crews working on filtration or drainage circuits.

Pressure and temperature limits

The fitting handles a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Its rated temperature range spans from a minimum of 40 degrees Fahrenheit to a maximum of 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Gray PVC construction resists corrosion from pool chemicals and UV exposure. No moving parts mean silent operation and no power draw.

Installation and system fit

The socket-by-threaded configuration lets the fitting slip onto a 2-inch pipe outside the tank while accepting a 2-inch male thread inside. Zero bolt holes simplify mounting on curved or flat surfaces. The EPDM gasket seals against the tank wall without additional hardware. This frees up interior space for other fittings and reduces potential leak paths in the plumbing layout.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 2 in socket x FNPT bulkhead fitting on a curved or flat tank, and what step is often missed?

Apply solvent cement to the 2 in socket end for the outside connection, thread the 2 in FNPT inside connection, and ensure the EPDM gasket seats fully — the step often missed is confirming the gasket is evenly compressed before tightening.

What maintenance will the EPDM gasket need over time?

Inspect the EPDM gasket periodically for cracking or hardening, especially after exposure to temperatures near 140 Degrees F, and replace it if any degradation appears to maintain the seal at 150 psi.

What is the first limit reached under sustained pressure at elevated temperature?

The 150 psi maximum operating pressure at 70 Degrees F is the primary limit; sustained use at higher temperatures reduces the allowable pressure, so monitor both pressure and temperature to stay within the 40 to 140 Degrees F range.
