I've got my RO/DI water sitting in a trashcan (food grade) and want to put a bulkead in the side near the bottom where I can drain out 5 gals into a transport carrier.
I see you have Sched 80 Bulkheads, but what would I need to use past the bulkhead to 90degree down and also have a valve to stop flow? Does it need to be Sched 80 also? Do you sell such fittings? |

This is easy. I've done the exact same thing. You don't need anything special. I would use a 1-1/4" or 1-1/2" bulkhead fitting. I used a 1-1/4" but bigger is always better.
From there you will need a male pipe to PVC slip fitting. Just connect the ball valve to this fitting using a small length of PVC pipe. On the other end of the ball valve just pop on a 90 street ell.
I didn't even glue mine since these valves can tend to wear out over time. Just yank off the ball valve and pop on a new one.
It would be best to prop your RO/DI reservior up on something that is at least as tall as a 5 gal bucket. I built a box for mine using 2x4s and some scrap plywood. |
