Bulk Head Couplings

Product Description

Bulkhead couplings are specialized connectors designed to facilitate the passage of fluid or gas lines through barriers such as panels, walls, or enclosures. They ensure a secure and leak-proof connection between different sections of a system, maintaining integrity across partitions.

Key Features:

• Design: Typically, bulkhead couplings consist of a central body with threads or fittings on both ends, allowing for the attachment of pipes or hoses on either side of a barrier. They often include a locknut to secure the coupling in place, preventing movement and potential leaks.

Considerations When Selecting Bulkhead Couplings:

• Size Compatibility: Ensure the coupling matches the diameter and thread type of the existing piping or tubing to maintain system integrity.

• Pressure and Temperature Ratings: Select couplings that can withstand the system's operating conditions to prevent failures.

• Material Selection: Choose materials that are compatible with the fluids or gases in the system to avoid corrosion or degradation.

• Installation Requirements: Consider the thickness of the barrier and ensure the coupling's length and design are suitable for secure installation.

Proper selection and installation of bulkhead couplings are crucial for maintaining the safety and efficiency of fluid and gas transfer systems, especially when connections must pass through structural barriers.
