Plumbing advise

[fishstix]

Hi,
I am trying to find sch 80 elbows that are threaded that will screw into my bulkheads, but I don't know what they are called or if they are even made? I know they are made with the threads on the inside to screw something into them, but I need to be able to screw it into a bulkhead.

Any advise?

Thanks so much

I've only seen female threaded schedule 80 elbow fittings.
If you need a male threaded one then you would go out and get yourself a socket or sometimes called slip fit schedule 80 elbow, piece of schedule 80 pipe, cut a small piece and get a schedule 80 male adapter that you glue on.

I think I found something that would work, but the company not in the US, and I have to wonder how expensive it would be.

why do you need schedule 80?

honestly, there are VERY few things on a reef tank that need schedule 80 fittings.

Yeah I agree, I was just trying to keep it a dark color. I would be fine as well using sch 40 if I could find it in black?

Use a very short "thread x thread" nipple. Plumbers call these very short length nipples "close nipples". Here's a link to BRS's page of "close nipples" in such 80 https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/schedule-80-nipples.html
