Leaks from Rubbermaid stock tank bulkhead

[Be102]

1" schedule 80 bulkheads fit both the 100 and 150. I wouldn't recommend using the bulkhead that comes with the totes even with silicone. $20 to know it's never going to leak is a good deal imo.

Any idea where I could find one? Doesn’t seem like something local stores would have handy

Brs or Saltwater aquarium. They carry different brands, but are both the same hole size.

One of these…? W a plug? Threaded ok right?

Yup that's the ticket. Plug on the inside so you can plumb to drain it easy when/if needed.

Haha sweet. I did lose u tho when you mention plug it on the inside…. So basically put it in backwards? I think I can picture correctly. Obviously other side has to also be a threaded too.

So thread x thread bulkhead. Plug installed inside the tank, wet. Just leaves the inside of the bulkhead dry so there's no mess when you hook up plumbing to drain it.
