plumbing out of bulk head

[Twizted1]

I have been to every place in town. I have been looking for a 90 or something close that screws over the bulk head. The threads just don't match up to anything I have found. Where  do I go? I would like to start plumbing this baby in the next couple of weeks.

Am I remembering correctly that SPA plumbing will work ?

I ordered all my bulkhead stuff from Glassholes.com but I believe Premium Aquatics also has what you would need.

every bulkhead I have purchased normal plumbing stuff at the local hw store works.  Sometimes tape is needed to get it to feel right but I have never had any issues...

what size is it?

I've never seen fittings attached to the outside diameter of a bulkhead

[Viggen]

oops..... just realized you meant to the outside of the bulkhead.... I also have never seen that done, not a clue what size that would be

why do you need to go on the outside of the bulkhead? 

[lazylivin]

The outside thread on the bulkhead is for the nut to secure the bulkhead to the tank. Your PVC goes inside the bulkhead. Some bulkheads are slip this means your PVC will slide into the bulkhead and stay there with PVC cement and some bulkheads are threaded on the inside. For those you will use teflon tape and threaded PVC adapter.

I gotcha. Thanks for setting me straight.
