Pool Bulkhead Fitting 1/2

The Hayward BFAS1005CES is a PVC bulkhead tank fitting designed for plumbing installations on curved or flat tank walls. It provides a 1/2 inch female threaded connection on the inside and a 1/2 inch female socket connection on the outside. The gray fitting uses an EPDM gasket to create a watertight seal without requiring bolt holes.

Pressure and Temperature Performance

This fitting is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. It withstands continuous operating temperatures between 40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit. The PVC construction and EPDM gasket maintain sealing integrity across this range, making it suitable for sustained load in pool and spa circulation systems.

Replaces Leaking or Damaged Tank Penetrations

The BFAS1005CES upgrades worn bulkhead fittings that drip or crack at the tank wall. The jump is worth it when the existing penetration leaks, the gasket has degraded, or the threads are stripped. It is not for installations requiring a larger connection size, a flanged bolt pattern, or a different gasket material such as Viton.

Questions about this item

Does the PVC bulkhead fitting stay leak-free when the pump runs continuously at 150 psi and 140 °F?

The fitting is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi at 70 °F and a maximum operating temperature of 140 °F, so it is designed to handle continuous duty within those limits.

What pipe and seal components must I already have to install this 1/2" FNPT x socket bulkhead?

You need a 1/2" male NPT threaded pipe for the inside connection and a 1/2" solvent-weld socket pipe for the outside connection; the EPDM gasket is included.

Will the EPDM gasket on this gray PVC fitting remain compatible with my existing chlorinated pool plumbing?

The EPDM gasket material is standard for pool water chemistry and works with the PVC body used in existing chlorinated systems.
