What did I miss with the bulkhead?

Yet OD does not change going from schedule 40 to 80 or vise versa.....and that's what is important with connections.




Jerry, that's always been a head scratcher for me as well. 99.9 percent of us don't need that extra pressure rating. I almost think for some it's the Tim the Toolman Taylor thing of having the biggest, most powerful, strongest whatever.

The only failure I'm aware of was Bill Wann's 20K gallon tank/plumbing where I think it was a 4 inch PVC pipe that burst and flooded his sump room and darn near emptied his tank.

Absolute nightmare. I guess when you look at the risk vs. extra cost an argument can be made.

In an evil world it might have something to do with an influential YouTube channel and something about profit margins.
