Pool plumbing component

The Hayward BFA3005TES is a bulkhead tank fitting designed for pool and spa plumbing systems. It provides a 1/2 inch FNPT threaded connection through tank walls of curved or flat shape. The fitting suits installers and maintenance professionals who need a reliable pass-through for fluid lines.

Temperature and pressure limits

The fitting operates between 40 and 180 degrees Fahrenheit. It withstands a maximum pressure of 150 psi at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Polypropylene construction with an EPDM gasket handles these thermal and hydraulic loads without metal corrosion.

Replaces worn or leaking bulkhead fittings

This part upgrades installations where old fittings have cracked, warped or lost seal integrity. The jump is worth it when a tank penetration leaks or when re-plumbing requires a new female-threaded port on a curved or flat vessel.

Questions about this item

How do I install the BFA3005TES bulkhead fitting and what step is often missed?

Thread the 1/2" FNPT connections into the tank wall with the EPDM gasket seated evenly; the step often missed is confirming the gasket sits flat against curved or flat tank surfaces before tightening.

What maintenance will the BFA3005TES need over time?

Inspect the EPDM gasket periodically for hardening or cracks caused by temperatures up to 180 Degrees F and replace it if leaks appear at the 1/2" FNPT joints.

What limit appears first on the BFA3005TES during sustained high-pressure use?

The 150 psi @ 70 Degrees F pressure rating is the first limit; exceeding it risks deformation of the polypropylene body or gasket failure.
