Use off brand all the time and they work fine.

As long as it's not these. These suck. Rain barrel maybe, sure, but not for glass. And the reverse thread makes it a pita if you need to screw in a strainer because the nut unscrews.

I've used many Odyssea bulkheads. They're good. If slip, use the appropriate abs to PVC glue

Okay, should I be able to find the required gluing and primer at home depot/lowes?

Yes they should have it I think I got mine at ace hardware.

Oatey® All-Purpose ABS, PVC and CPVC Medium Bodied Clear Cement is recommended for DWV, potable water and irrigation applications.

Because I have a lot of abs bulkheads. One product to do all.

Yes. I'll grab a pic I think I have one in the basement.
