Bulkhead Fitting   

Plumbing has evolved so much over the years. There have always been some forms of plumbing methods over the years. All civilizations started as small settlements which later grew into towns and cities. This created problems as high populations in clustered locations gave rise to the need for effective plumbing solutions to keep the towns clean and free from diseases. The ancient Romans, Greeks, Indians, Chinese and Egyptians all had their own plumbing systems that were very effective for their requirements at that point of time. The plumbing trade has come a long way since then and there are a lot of fitting techniques and accessories in use now. Bulkhead fitting, compression tube fitting, pipe and hose fitting are all some fitting methods/ accessories in use today.

Of these bulkhead fitting is used in places or in situations where other forms of fitting can be used effectively. What is bulkhead fitting? A bulkhead fitting is a special type of plumbing fitting that is generally used in the process of inserting a connection through a sealed surface of any vessel. This type of fitting is especially useful for making water tight connections. Gardens, aquariums as well as household and industrial plumbing requirements are met with this type of fitting. Another type of fitting used in plumbing systems is called tube fitting.
