Bulkheads

[CNDReef]

Hi guys, looking for some 1” slip x slip slim bulkheads for my new build. Anyone know where I can buy them?

 

[Matthew Frost]

BRS should have them.

I need the slim ones because of tight space and I didn’t see any there

Not sure what you mean by slim, but maybe try Aquacave or Savko.com (popular source in central Ohio, I’ve bought in store and online often).

Just remember they usually don't come slim because they have the contact depth for each side of the bulkhead equal to the diameter of the pipe for proper adhesion you can trim them back some but not much. Maybe a uniseal is more what you are looking for.

It’s to do my overflow so I don’t want them bigger than they need to be so if they crack or leak for some reason they can be removed without me having to remove the overflow.

Hayward makes a short shaft pvc bulkhead.
You can also call Flex PVC and ask them what they have.
They are pretty good at figuring out solutions to problems.

+1 in re FlexPVC. The person who runs the company is actually a fish guy, too, so he should be able to well understand what you're trying to accomplish.

The short model bulkheads are a tiny bit shorter, not much shorter than standard. Height can ran range from brand to brand too.
