It features Slip x FIPT end connections in a 1\/2-inch fitting size, allowing one side to accept a solvent-welded pipe and the other to thread onto a female pipe fitting. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides increased pressure tolerance compared to Schedule 40, making this adapter a practical choice for plumbing, irrigation, chemical storage, and pool or water treatment applications. Licensed plumbers and trade professionals install this fitting where a watertight bulkhead pass-through is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bulkhead tank adapter is suited for residential and light commercial installations where a PVC pipeline must penetrate a tank wall or panel. Common applications include sump tanks, chemical feed systems, pool equipment pads, and irrigation distribution manifolds. The 1\/2-inch size fits standard half-inch PVC pipe runs. Its Slip x FIPT configuration gives installers flexibility to transition between solvent-weld and threaded connections at the tank wall without additional fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 80 PVC construction for increased wall thickness and pressure tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch fitting size compatible with standard half-inch PVC pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSlip x FIPT end connections allow solvent-weld inlet with threaded outlet transition\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBulkhead design provides a watertight through-wall seal on tanks and reservoirs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.6 pounds, simplifying handling during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation bulkhead fitting for standard 1\/2-inch Schedule 80 PVC piping systems used in plumbing, pool, irrigation, and chemical containment applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified trade professional. Drain and depressurize the tank fully before cutting or mounting the bulkhead opening. Use appropriate PVC solvent cement on the slip side per the manufacturer instructions and IPEX or ASTM standards; apply PTFE thread tape on the FIPT side to ensure a leak-free threaded joint. Do not overtighten the threaded connection, as PVC threads can crack under excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bulkhead Tank Adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: Slip x FIPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8171-005\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51697421418802,"sku":"8171-005","price":78.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/2ff2e2b0adfa2ff4d6d1e3dbe2deef14.jpg?v=1788351506","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-8171-005-pvc-bulkhead-tank-adapter-1-2-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
