Are all bulkhead fittings created equal.

almost any bulkhead that fails is from inproper instalation, or a defect in the bulkhead its self, not because it is a cheap one or it is schedual 40.

I won't use less than sched40 but not because of the pressure rating. I have used sched20 in the past but if it's something you are going to keep for more than maybe 5 years it gets really brittle. I had an old piece off of my uv I was able to crush just squeezing it in my hand.
