Bulkhead brands?

[bhaminal]

Anyone have a bulkhead brand they like? New to bulkhead mounts and dont want to waste my time with cheap or poorly made parts. Thanks!

I've used bunches of Hayward stuff.

I've bought many different brands and they are all pretty much the same unless you buy a schedule 80 bulkhead, which are heavier and thicker, so need a bigger hole for same size as regular sch 40 bulkheads. I would recommend getting it with threads on at least the side that will be on the outside of the tank, so that if you need to change things its a lot easier than if they are glued on.

I have good luck using lifegard aquatics 1" double threaded I like the threaded option better than slip, and for some reason they are often cheaper as well.

Thanks for the info everyone! I’ll poke around and see if I can find those brands. I’m planning on doing overflows drains for three tanks, 20, 30, and 75 with timer fills, either unheated drip or temp controlled flow with RO line, havent decided yet. Figured either way a 3/4 bulkhead and over flow could handle either. Thanks for your help, nice to have great resources to lean on out there
