Product Overview
This bulkhead fitting designed to facilitate water inlet or outlet connections on plastic water storage containers like rain barrels. It allows you to pass a hose or pipe through the wall of a barrel or tank securely, helping to manage water transfer while aiming to prevent leaks.
Key Features
Purpose-Built for Liquid Storage – Designed specifically for creating threaded or slip connections on rain barrels, water tanks, and similar vessels where a sealed penetration through the container wall is required.
Includes Sealing Gasket – Comes with a silicone gasket intended to compress between the fitting and the container wall, forming a watertight seal to help prevent drips and leaks at the installation point.
Constructed from PVC Material – Made from PVC, a material chosen for its compatibility with water and its resistance to degradation from moisture and typical environmental exposure.
Simple Mechanical Installation – Installs by drilling a hole, placing the gasket, inserting the fitting, and tightening a nut on the opposite side, a process that generally requires only basic hand tools.

Important Pre-Installation Notes
Confirm Container Material: This fitting is designed for use with rigid plastic containers (like polyethylene rain barrels). Compatibility with other materials (e.g., metal, concrete) is not guaranteed.
Check Connection Type: Verify that the thread type (e.g., NPT) or connection style on the fitting ends matches the hose or pipe you intend to attach to ensure a proper link in your system.
