Anderson Metals Corp 28695PB Bulkhead Fitting 1 Inch Sch 40

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 28695PB is a Schedule 40 bulkhead fitting sized at 1 inch, designed to create a watertight seal when passing a pipe or fitting through the wall of a tank, barrel, or trough. Bulkhead fittings thread through a drilled hole and clamp against both sides of the wall using a gasket and locknut, eliminating leaks at the penetration point. This fitting is built to Schedule 40 dimensional standards, making it compatible with standard PVC pipe and fittings used throughout plumbing and agricultural supply work. Plumbers, irrigation technicians, and farm supply installers commonly specify this type of fitting for low-pressure liquid containment applications.

This fitting is suited for residential and light agricultural installations where a liquid-tight through-wall connection is required. Typical applications include rain barrels, animal water troughs, and feed containers where a port must be added to the side wall for inlet or outlet connections. The fitting installs from the outside of the container wall, requiring only a hole saw or step bit to prepare the mounting opening. No special tooling beyond standard hand tools is required for most installations in plastic or thin-wall containers.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-specification bulkhead fitting for use with Schedule 40 PVC piping systems in rain barrel, animal feed, and water trough installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by plumbers or irrigation technicians using common hand tools. Before installing, ensure the container is empty and depressurized. Drill the mounting hole to the diameter specified for a 1-inch bulkhead fitting, deburr the opening, and seat the gasket flat against the container wall before threading the locknut. Do not overtighten the locknut on thin-wall plastic containers, as cracking the wall will compromise the seal.
