Product Description

The 1 in. bulkhead fitting is made for pre-drilled tanks. It needs to be placed into a 1 3/4 in. Diameter hole in the tank to obtain the proper fit. Also for a proper seal the gasket that comes with the bulkhead must go between the bulkhead flange and the tank wall.

If you are using 1" PVC pipe for your aquarium or sump, this is the bulkhead for you. Makes a perfect seal with no leaks. I used it on my 125 gallon tank that I drilled myself and the seal held perfectly.

I had to purchase one of this as the old one I had started to leak...it fits perfectly into the old hole and provides a tight seal connection...great product and but it again for my other aquarium/vivarium project...

4.0 out of 5 stars As pictured, possibly slightly light weight..., April 21, 2011

The delivery and design of the part are exactly as described on line. The bulkhead is appropriate for light-weight applications (such as my 75 gallon aquarium). However, the user should beware that tubing clamps can crack such barbs at relatively low clamping levels-- this happened to my previous bulkhead. In high-risk applications, I'd recommend an 8" nylon wire cable clamp for vinyl tubing applications where vibration or vertical weight might otherwise loosen the joint over time. Heavier duty bulkheads are available -- but they are bulkier so may not fit in tight locations.
