This is where you will make your connections. The differences are how you attach your fittings or pipe to them. First we need to understand the terminology. SLIP is a common term when referring to bulkheads. The proper PVC term is Socket (SOC), which is a fitting end type that allows pipes to slip into fittings to make a connection. To make the connection permanent and water-tight, PVC cement is required. When referring to Bulkhead fittings, the two terms are synonymous. THREADED is a type of connection on pipes and fittings. All of our Threaded bulkhead fittings have FEMALE pipe threads which requires you to use a MALE fitting. Examples of Male fittings include Male Adapters, PVC Nipples, Threaded Street Elbows, etc. Depending upon how you’re configuring your plumbing will determine which male fittings you will use. There is a lot of flexibility with threaded connections as they are not permanent. We think slip (glued) connections are the most reliable, but both will work. When we discuss a Bulkhead Fitting’s connection we will ALWAYS refer to the FLANGE end FIRST. Bulkhead options are: - Slip x Slip Slip on both ends. Requires you to use Spigot (commonly referred to as SLIP) fittings or PVC pipe on each end of the bulkhead. PVC cement is required for a water-tight seal. You can glue any type of Spigot fitting, including a Spigot reducer if you require a smaller size on one end. - Thread x Thread Female pipe threads on both ends. - Thread x Slip Female pipe threads on the flange end and slip on the “nut” end. - Slip x Thread Slip on the Flange end and female pipe threads on the “nut” end. All of your fittings need to be attached to the inside of each side of the bulkhead. The threads on the outside of the bulkheads will not fit any kind of PVC threads, These threads are for the retaining nut to thread on to and tighten the bulkhead when installing.
