Redsea Max E 260 bulkhead size

[Damian Harris]

I need to replace the bulkheads that distribute the water back into the tank on my red sea max e 260 the older version with AI lights. I tried to clean them and destroyed them in the process. Where can i either get new ones or what size is the whole and what ideas do you have to help me fix this isssue.

Hey brother, did you ever end up figuring this one out? I am now in the same predicament.

Sadly, these parts are proprietary…

Your best bet would be putting up a want ad to see if anyone can scavenge the assembly from their failed Reefer!

this was my thought, to omit the restrictive factory elbow…

The part I can’t find is the oddball threaded semi-bulkhead fitting that screws down into the plastic frame which serves as the thru-tank seal for all three “bulkheads”….

This ridiculous contraption…

Thoughts?

disregard...misread.

are you talking about the bulkhead rings?

My mistake, I was referring to these weird threaded parts which not only adapt to the overflow box plumbing, and pass through the tank’s bottom, but also serve as half of a union…

— I don’t think “bulkhead” is quite the correct term, but they essentially do the same thing!

In any case, I found complete assemblies on EBay if nothing else…

ahhhh...those are the down and return pipes...(pain in the butt pipes)...stand by....

Impressive work digging all these parts up!

I’m actually all set, personally (I’ve got a spare set for my 450), though I’m sure others might chime on here!

— the offer is definitely appreciated though, thank you!

for future reference, these guys carry all the parts (including the conversion fittings to standard hose's):
