Anderson Metals Corp 28694PB Bulkhead Fitting 3/4 in Sch 40

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 28694PB is a Schedule 40 bulkhead fitting designed to create a watertight seal when penetrating the wall of a tank, barrel, or trough. At 3/4 inch, it provides a secure, leak-resistant connection point through plastic or similarly thin-walled containers. The fitting is sold in a package of 5 units, making it practical for multi-point installations or stocking service inventory. Plumbers and irrigation installers use this fitting where a threaded, sealed pass-through is needed without extensive modification to the vessel wall.

This bulkhead fitting is commonly installed in rain water collection barrels, animal feed troughs, and water storage tanks used in residential and agricultural settings. It establishes a reliable inlet or outlet port through the container sidewall, allowing connection to standard threaded piping or fittings. The Schedule 40 rating indicates a wall thickness and pressure capacity appropriate for low-pressure gravity-fed or lightly pressurized systems typical in these applications.

Key Features

• Schedule 40 construction for reliable wall thickness and pressure handling in low-pressure systems
• 3/4 inch size suits common barrel and trough outlet configurations
• Creates a watertight seal through container walls without welding or epoxy
• Sold in a package of 5 units for multi-point or stocking use
• Threaded connection compatible with standard pipe fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or installation fitting for rain barrels, animal feed troughs, and water storage tanks requiring a watertight wall penetration at 3/4 inch.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a plumber or irrigation technician. Drain and depressurize the vessel completely before drilling the penetration hole or installing the fitting. A hole saw sized to the fitting body is required to prepare the vessel wall. Confirm thread engagement and gasket compression on both faces of the wall before returning the system to service.
