I'm trying to find a adapter fitting to fit 1.5" bulkhead. I'm trying to put in a Durso pipe in the bulkhead in the overflow. The bulkhead does not accommodate 1.5" PVC pipe directly. I need an adapter that will fit in the bulkhead and then accept 1.5" PVC. All of the adapters I find are threaded where they are supposed to fit into the bulkhead. Does anyone have any idea where I can find these adapters?
 
ID should be 7.8ths.....
IMO, I would change the bulkhead to screw type......might be easier to find your fitting for it....the only thing I can find a a 90 Street fitting

You need something like this
 
I can’t seem to find a sch 80 bulkhead that is threaded on the overflow part and slip on the bottom part of the drain. I rather have slip for the drain part so it’s semi permanent and less likely to leak. I like the sch 80 bulkheads only because the nut seems more durable and less likely to crack.
