It offers a slip socket on one side and a 1\" FIPT outlet on the other, with the body and gasket clamping securely against the tank wall to form a leak-free port without adhesives on the tank surface itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSealed tank penetrations done right\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpears Manufacturing is a respected name in industrial thermoplastic fittings, and this bulkhead is built from rugged Schedule 80 PVC for the extra strength that tank fittings demand. The threaded retaining nut draws the sealing gasket tight against the tank wall, producing a dependable seal that holds up to the constant contact with brine and treated water found in softening and filtration systems. The slip-by-FIPT configuration lets you cement pipe to one side while keeping a serviceable threaded connection on the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnection: 1\" slip socket x 1\" FIPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitting type: bulkhead (tank wall) fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: heavy-duty Schedule 80 PVC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreates a sealed pipe penetration through tank walls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for brine, storage, and treatment tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximate weight: 0.34 lb each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo install, cut a clean hole sized precisely to the fitting body, insert it through the tank wall with the gasket positioned on the correct side, and tighten the nut evenly to compress the seal without distorting the plastic or the tank wall. Then solvent-weld your pipe to the slip side and thread connections into the FIPT side as needed, using PTFE tape or sealant on the male threads. For overflow lines, fill connections, and drain ports on water-treatment tanks, this Spears bulkhead fitting delivers the durable, corrosion-resistant seal the application requires, year after year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne reason PVC dominates water-treatment plumbing is its predictable, repeatable behavior across thousands of identical joints. Every fitting shares the same chemistry and dimensional standards, so an installer can stock a single solvent and primer and trust that each connection performs the same way. That consistency, combined with immunity to rust and scale, is why softener, filter, and distribution skids are so often built almost entirely from PVC components like this one.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spears Mfg Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45668840833077,"sku":"PVC10BF","price":133.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/4950\/2261\/files\/pvc10bf.jpg?v=1782535338","url":"https:\/\/watersoftenerplus.com\/sv-eu\/products\/pvc-bulkhead-fitting-1-sxf","provider":"Water Softener Plus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
