will a weldless bulkhead hold pressure

[JayberQue]

Im looking at some options to add some ports to a fermentation vessel... i use it for pressure transfers... never more that 5psi. I was wondering if anyone had any info on if a weldless bulkhead would work in a pressurized vessel.

yes, no problems

again, don't tighten with tools, but 5ps is nothing to an oring.

thank you

no problem. you can even go a lot higher than that if you want to experiment.

paintball orings hold up to 850 psi, and those are just edpm rubber, or worse.
