Help with plumbing for bulk head drain

[Ramon84]

I’ve purchased a Seapora Nano Overflow with a 0.75” bulkhead. However regular PVC won’t screw onto it is there any suggestion on what I could do.

N/m I’m going to glue a piece over pvc inside it

If the threads are male (which I'm pretty sure they are) you can do one of three things. One, get an adapter. Rainbow Dream 3/4 inch Female. You'll then plumb it normally using other tubing and the proper plumbing glue. Or, secondly, You can get nylon tubing and a pipe clamp. This can be trick but it's probably the easiest. Thirdly, you can take the bulkhead with you to your local hardware store and find PVC that will fit directly into the bulkhead. Just because it has threads doesn't mean you need to use them.

OK..then yes, the way you showed in the picture is one way to do it......however, some put a union in between the pipe and ball valve also.....in case you have to remove the plumbing at a later date...saves you from cutting teh pipe.
