So the schedule 40 bulkheads are a 1/8"-1/4" too long for a perfect 90 degree drop through a hole in the stand. I have the bulkhead coming out of my tank, immediately into a 90 degree elbow down. However, the hole in the stand is a bit more ~1/4in "inward" than the pipe coming out of the 90 elbow.
So my options are to slightly torque the pvc pipe (~4-5 ft) dropping out of the 90 elbow so that it 'kicks in' a couple of degrees, or to cut the threaded side of the bulkhead to trim a 1/2" off of its length
Other than potentially screwing up the threads, any downside to cutting the bulkhead so that it's shorter? Or should I just slightly torque the PVC?
