Value Collection 8172-020C Cpvc Bulkhead Tank Adapter 2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 8172-020C is a 2-inch CPVC bulkhead tank adapter rated for Schedule 80 service. It is designed to create a leak-tight through-wall fitting in tanks, reservoirs, and chemical storage vessels. The female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connections on both ends accept standard threaded pipe or fittings, making transitions straightforward. CPVC construction provides resistance to corrosive chemicals and elevated temperatures beyond what standard PVC handles, making this adapter well suited for industrial and commercial plumbing applications where chemical exposure is a factor.

This bulkhead adapter is used in tank installations where a pipe must pass through a wall or floor of a vessel while maintaining a sealed connection. Typical applications include chemical feed systems, water treatment tanks, process fluid reservoirs, and agricultural or commercial storage containers. The Schedule 80 rating means the fitting handles higher pressure ratings than Schedule 40 equivalents, appropriate for demanding system conditions. Licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting type.

Key Features

• CPVC material resists corrosive chemicals and higher service temperatures than standard PVC
• Schedule 80 pressure rating for demanding commercial and industrial service
• FIPT x FIPT end connections accept standard threaded pipe on both sides
• 2-inch fitting size suits common tank penetration requirements
• Through-wall bulkhead design creates a sealed fitting at tank or vessel walls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation bulkhead fitting for 2-inch threaded CPVC piping systems in Schedule 80 tank and vessel applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Drain and depressurize the tank or vessel completely before installing or replacing a bulkhead fitting. Use appropriate thread sealant rated for CPVC and the specific fluid being handled — do not use sealants that degrade CPVC. Overtightening threaded connections on CPVC can crack the fitting body; tighten firmly by hand and advance with a wrench only as needed to achieve a seal.
