Overflow box

[Trustyworm]

I wanted know if a bulkhead fitting is necessary for the overflow box. I forgot to buy the bulkhead and I was wondering if I could just fit the acrylic tube in there instead.

Where specifically on the box are you talking about? In most cases, bulkheads are 100% needed.

Bulkhead are not needed, however, highly recommended.

For that highly recommend bulkhead.....its better for leak prevention and stronger connection then just the tube going in...

I have a PF-1200. I believe yours uses a 1 inch.

Yours didn't come WITH bulkheads?

Bulkhead required. Should be included.

@Trustyworm , I feel it would be very helpful for you to read through this first post. Yes, it's long, but it can clarify some things for you.
