Bulkhead Fittings

Our bulkhead fittings are manufactured from high-quality ABS, a durable and impact-resistant material well suited for aquariums, hydroponic systems, tanks, and plumbing applications.

ABS bulkhead fittings install and bond using standard PVC solvent cement and primers, so no special adhesives or installation techniques are required. This allows ABS bulkheads to be used seamlessly with common PVC piping and fittings.

In addition to chemical compatibility, ABS offers excellent toughness and resistance to cracking, making it a practical choice for environments where durability and reliability are important.

Design & Construction Notes

Thick-Wall Construction:
Our bulkhead fittings are manufactured with thicker walls than standard Schedule 40 PVC fittings, providing added strength and durability for demanding applications such as aquariums, hydroponic systems, and tanks.

EPDM Gaskets:
Each bulkhead uses a UV-stabilized EPDM gasket designed to resist wear and weathering. The soft gasket material helps conform to mating surfaces for a reliable, leak-free seal.

Tapered Ends:
Bulkhead ends are tapered to accommodate nominal PVC pipe tolerances, allowing compatibility with common domestic pipe standards and easier installation.

Manufactured in the USA:
All bulkheads are produced domestically, allowing close oversight of manufacturing processes and consistent quality control.
