Value Collection 8171-007 Pvc Bulkhead Tank Adapter 3/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 8171-007 is a 3/4 inch Schedule 80 PVC bulkhead tank adapter designed to create a leak-tight fitting through the wall of a tank, reservoir, or sump. The adapter features Slip x FIPT end connections, accepting a solvent-weld pipe on one side and a female iron pipe thread connection on the other. Constructed from PVC, this fitting resists corrosion and is well suited for water treatment, chemical storage, pool and spa plumbing, and general fluid handling applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of adapter when a secure, pressure-rated penetration through a tank wall is required.

This bulkhead adapter is commonly installed in residential and light commercial applications where PVC piping penetrates holding tanks, chemical feed tanks, water storage vessels, or sump enclosures. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides additional pressure capacity and mechanical strength compared to Schedule 40 fittings, making it appropriate for systems that experience moderate pressure or require a more robust tank wall connection. It is sold individually and is compatible with standard 3/4 inch PVC piping systems.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for increased pressure rating and wall strength
• 3/4 inch fitting size fits standard PVC pipe and fittings
• Slip x FIPT end connections allow solvent-weld on one side and threaded connection on the other
• PVC material resists corrosion, chemicals, and moisture
• Creates a secure, leak-resistant penetration through tank walls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 3/4 inch Schedule 80 PVC piping systems used in tank, reservoir, and fluid containment applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Power down or depressurize any connected system before drilling or modifying tank walls. Use appropriate PVC solvent cement on the slip connection side and apply thread sealant tape or compound to the FIPT connection in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Do not overtighten threaded connections on PVC fittings, as this can cause cracking.
