Anderson Metals Corp 28698PB Bulkhead Fitting 2 in Sch 40

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS CORP 28698PB is a Schedule 40 bulkhead fitting designed to create a watertight seal when passing a pipe or hose connection through the wall of a tank, barrel, or trough. At 2 inches, this fitting is sized for standard residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a secure, leak-free penetration is required. The fitting installs through a drilled or punched hole in the vessel wall, compressing a gasket on one or both sides to seal against water intrusion. It is typically installed by plumbers or experienced tradespeople working on water storage or fluid containment systems.

This bulkhead fitting is commonly used in rain barrel installations, animal feed troughs, water troughs, and similar tank or container applications where a pipe connection must pass through the vessel wall without leaking. The Schedule 40 rating means it is built to standard pressure-bearing wall thickness, making it appropriate for gravity-fed or low-pressure water systems. It ships in a package quantity of 5 units, making it suitable for multi-barrel or multi-trough installations in a single order.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson. Before installing, shut off or isolate the water source and drain the vessel to a safe level. A properly sized hole must be drilled or cut in the vessel wall to accept the fitting body; consult IPC guidelines for appropriate clearances and sealing methods. Do not overtighten the locknut, as excessive force can crack plastic vessel walls or distort the sealing gasket.
