3" PVC Bulkhead Fitting FNPT x Socket

This Hayward bulkhead fitting provides a 3-inch PVC connection with FNPT threads on one side and a socket on the other. It is designed for tank installations where a reliable pass-through is required. The gray PVC body handles pressures up to 150 psi and operates between 40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit.

Suits pool or spa plumbing needing a 3-inch tank

Installers who need a different pipe diameter, a flanged connection, or a non-PVC body material should consider other options. The fitting requires a 4 1/2 inch hole and accommodates wall thicknesses up to 1.02 inches, so thinner or thicker tank walls will not work.

Fits a 4 1/2 inch tank opening with FPM gasket

The 3 5/8 inch overall length sits flush once installed, and the FPM gasket seals against chemical exposure. The FNPT x socket configuration lets you thread a male adapter on one side while solvent-welding pipe directly into the socket, simplifying the transition between threaded and glued joints.
