E-Shops overflow: Bulkhead nut broke

[ImGoingCoastal]

Hey all,
The nut that secures the bulkhead to my Eshppps Eclipse (M) overflow box snapped and I'm having a difficult time finding a replacement . Anyone know who sells a compatible bulkhead or a use able nut?

Thanks!

Did you try Eshopps ?

Did you try Eshopps ?

I didn't, was hoping to get one today as it is significantly impacting the operation of my tank.

Got a photo? Depending on the situation, just get a bulkhead from the LFS.

Isn’t the entire bulkhead removable from the overflow? I would see if your lfs has an entire new one.

Thanks everyone, back up and running.

The ones I had were too big, but these did the trick.

1" bulkhead slip x slip NPT...

Bonus, it came in a four pack and the other bulkhead nut broke, so I was able to replace both and still had two spares. Not tightening them down so much this time.

You only wanna go hand tight + a quarter turn on bulkheads. Over tightening them will cause a leak or in your case, breaking them.

They were on there for over 3 years, I think I had pressure on them from the angle of the plumbing. It's been corrected now.
