![]() for the intake (tank to canister)
i would go for 1" for the intake and reduce if required. From inside the tank to the canister: 1" threaded strainer fitting 1" bulkhead 1" ball valve 1" union slip x slip 1" slip x female adaptor 1" male x barb 1" hose clamp 1" tubing from the barb to your canister For the return (canister to tank) double up the above list and do the exact same thing without the threaded strainer fitting If you want to direct the flow back into the tank, buy a 1" slip x male adaptor to screw into the bulkhead then a 90 or 45 degree elbow. Make sure you have some 1" PVC to use to connect these pieces together The above noted parts are readily available at Home Depot/Rona. But note that some shortcuts can be done if you know what to look for at some other specialty plumbing supply stores. (IE threaded unions) hope that helps

![]() Last time I needed bulkheads,I picked them up at Golds.Can't remember the price,but it was cheaper than other places in town Ive bought them from.Better call to see if they have them in before hand.
As for Chins list,I think you can get most if not all the parts from Plumbateria(Close to McLeod tr and 42ave)Bulkheads were quite a bit more expencive there than Golds,so it may pay off to shop around a bit.
