Anderson Metals Corp 28696PB Bulkhead Fitting 1-1/4 in Sch 40

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 28696PB is a Schedule 40 bulkhead fitting sized at 1-1/4 inches, designed to create a watertight seal when passing a pipe connection through the wall of a vessel or container. The fitting threads into a drilled or punched hole and clamps tight with a gasket to prevent leaks at the penetration point. Plumbers and irrigation installers reach for this type of fitting when a tank, barrel, or trough needs a reliable port for water supply or drainage lines. Its Schedule 40 rating indicates wall thickness and pressure tolerance consistent with standard residential and light commercial water piping practice.

This bulkhead fitting is suited for installations involving rain barrels, animal feed troughs, water storage tanks, and similar non-pressure or low-pressure vessel penetration applications. It accepts standard 1-1/4-inch pipe connections on the threaded end. Typical use cases include rainwater harvesting setups, agricultural watering systems, and container irrigation plumbing where a clean, leak-free wall penetration is required. The fitting is sold in a package quantity of five units, making it practical for multi-point or multi-vessel installations.

Key Features

• Sold in a package of five units to support multi-port or batch installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Schedule 40 bulkhead fitting for use with 1-1/4-inch pipe connections in rain barrel, animal feed trough, and water storage vessel applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or experienced irrigation technician. Drain and depressurize any vessel completely before drilling or cutting the penetration hole and installing the fitting. Ensure the hole diameter matches the fitting body spec to allow proper gasket seating and a leak-free clamp. Follow local plumbing codes, which may reference IPC guidelines, for vessel penetration and potable or non-potable water system work.
