Product Overview

The Fluorinated Pallet Bulkhead Fitting 3/4" (SKU: A1473ACU) from UltraTech is a black fluorinated fitting that allows liquid flow between connected fluorinated spill deck pallets. When installed, it creates a shared sump between adjacent pallets, maximizing total containment capacity across multi-pallet configurations. Compatible with fluorinated pallet models A1323ACU, A1324ACU, and A1325ACU. Weighs 1 lb. The fluorinated construction ensures chemical resistance matching the pallets it connects — safe for use with hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, and other aggressive chemicals. Ships FREE to the Continental US from AbsorbentsOnline.com — a trusted name in spill containment and safety products since 1985.

Expert Insights

Bulkhead fittings serve a different purpose than T-strips. While T-strips (A1431ACU) physically join pallets to prevent separation, bulkhead fittings create liquid flow passages between adjacent pallets. This means spilled liquid can distribute across multiple pallets, increasing effective sump capacity. For full modular configurations, use both T-strips and bulkhead fittings. The T-strip prevents pallet separation while the bulkhead fitting enables shared containment capacity. Installation requires drilling a hole in the pallet walls where units meet — follow manufacturer instructions carefully to maintain fluorination integrity. The 3/4" fitting size is standard for these fluorinated pallet systems. Ensure a tight seal during installation to prevent leaks between units. Inspect quarterly for seal integrity, especially after exposure to concentrated aggressive chemicals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of a bulkhead fitting?

The bulkhead fitting creates a liquid flow passage between adjacent connected fluorinated pallets. This allows spilled liquid to distribute across multiple pallets, effectively increasing the total shared sump capacity.

Do I also need T-strips?

Yes. T-strips (A1431ACU) physically join pallets together, while bulkhead fittings enable liquid flow between them. For a complete modular configuration, use both accessories.

Is installation complicated?

Installation requires drilling a hole in the pallet wall where units connect. Follow manufacturer instructions carefully to ensure proper seal and maintain fluorination integrity.

Which pallets are compatible?

This fitting is compatible with fluorinated spill deck models A1323ACU, A1324ACU, and A1325ACU. It is not designed for the higher sump pallet models.
