Hi all,

I recently purchased a used 120 gallon tank and sump. One of the bulkheads broke during teardown so I have to replace one and would like to replace all four. The set up is dual over flow, so two drains and two returns. The bulkheads for the drains are 1 1/4 inches and slip barb in configuration. It looks like its a discontinued style as I can't seem to find a bulkhead with built in barb anywhere on the internet. The return bulkheads are also a slip barb but the top diameter is 1 inch and then it steps down to fit 3/4 inch hose. I'd like to keep the rest of the plumbing the same, but I'm not sure what to buy to replicate these bulkheads.

Thanks!

Here's one option with a slip fitting, they also have a threaded version if that's what your PVC is
