Norwesco 60403 Polypropylene Bulkhead Fitting 1-1/4in Fipt

Product Description

The NORWESCO 60403 is a 1-1/4 inches female iron pipe thread (FIPT) bulkhead fitting manufactured from polypropylene. Bulkhead fittings create a leak-resistant pass-through connection at the wall of a tank, reservoir, or enclosure. This fitting threads onto matching FIPT connections on both sides of the wall, sealing the penetration and providing a secure fluid path. Polypropylene construction offers resistance to a wide range of chemicals, making this fitting suitable for potable water, agricultural chemicals, and general liquid-transfer applications. Plumbers and irrigation professionals install this type of fitting during tank fabrication or repair work.

This fitting is used in residential and commercial liquid storage and transfer systems. Typical applications include water storage tanks, chemical holding tanks, sump enclosures, and rainwater collection systems. The 1-1/4 inches FIPT thread size accommodates standard pipe connections of that nominal size. It is well suited for agricultural, irrigation, and light industrial installations where a tank wall penetration is required.

Key Features

• 1-1/4 inches FIPT thread on both ends for standard pipe compatibility
• Polypropylene construction resists corrosion and a broad range of chemicals
• Bulkhead design creates a sealed pass-through at tank or reservoir walls
• Lightweight material simplifies handling and installation
• Order increment of 1 for single-unit purchasing flexibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation bulkhead fitting for tanks and enclosures requiring a 1-1/4 inches FIPT wall penetration connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or irrigation technicians. Drain and depressurize the tank or system completely before cutting or threading any wall penetration. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on FIPT connections and tighten to hand-tight plus a quarter turn, taking care not to over-torque polypropylene threads. Follow applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements for tank fittings and liquid containment systems.
