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...

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.

Used several of these for constructing koi tank filter. Well made, fits tight, good seal. I would buy this again.
