Buckeye offers these American Made ABS bulkheads, sometimes referred to as Tank Adapters, in four configurations and five sizes from 1/2 to 2 inches. Install the bulkheads with the flange and EPDM gasket on the wet side, and the nut on the dry side of the tank wall. The bulkheads are constructed with slip (glue/cement) and/or female threaded (FNPT) ports. PVC pipes fit the slip ports perfectly and can be cemented with widely available cleaners/cements for PVC & ABS. Threaded ports have female pipe threads. Appropriate hole sizes are shown below.
Bulkhead Size | Recommended Hole Size |
1/2" | 1 1/8" |
3/4" | 1 1/2" |
1" | 1 3/4" |
1 1/2" | 2 3/8" |
2" | 3" |
Our bulkhead descriptions list the “wet side” (flange side) first, and the “dry side” (nut side) second. For example, a ½” slip x thread bulkhead would have a slip joint for ½” PVC on the wet side, and ½” female pipe threads on the nut side.
