Looking for a fitting

Steve Ebels · February 2004

Anyone have a suggestion on what to use for this? We are doing heat (hydronic of course) in an addition for a Church that has a new baptistry being installed. I need a fitting that we can cut into the side of the tub (fiberglass, 3/8" wall) that will allow us to attach a 3/4" copper line to the tub. We are going to heat it by using a circulating pump and a heat exchanger and need to plumb the inlet and oulet of the heating pipes into the tub itself. Got any suggestions. The local plumbing supply place is drawing a blank.

Thanks

I think its called a bulkhead fitting. If you can't find one thru a plumbing supply try a Marine Boat store or a pool company.

Something tells me HR will know where to find one

Or a

chrome plated bar sink drain. Maybe you can find on of the heavy brass types. Generally they are 3/4 or 1" thread.

Restaurant supply places have lots of small sized flanged drains also for steam table drains, etc.

The marine supply catalogs would be another good place, as Scott mentioned.

Try a Leslies pool supply store

or any other spa pool supply store. Hot tub suction fittings and inlet fittings of various sizes and shapes. That suction fitting has to be an anti- entrapment style so the batised baby doesn't get a megga hickey or worse

I've used Bulkhead fittings from a Marine Shop - worked great!
