Where do you get your bulk heads from?
Hmmm. If ID is 1.5, then ... wait a minute ... that does sound a little odd. Aren't PVC pipes measured from ID? So what has a 1.5 OD measurement, is that 1-1/4" PVC maybe? But Revy had nothing that would fit? You're just comparing it to the pipe itself, right, not the fittings (unions couplings etc.)?
Hmmm, I'd almost be going back to Big Al's and ask them what you're supposed to use on this bulkhead they sold you. It isn't supposed to be complicated! The last few bulkheads I've worked with have all been for 1" PVC. The hole they need drilled is approx. 1-3/4", but the threaded end takes 1" PVC threaded male connectors, and the other end I can just jam a 1" PVC pipe in there and it's a snug fit. :confused:

Jon -
Do you remember a bulkhead with 1" union I showed you when you were over giving me a hand? I wonder if it would suit your purposes. I think the bulkhead is 1.5" to a 1" union. There is a 90 elbow on the far end, male thread. It's just like the one coming out of my sump. Yours if you need it. Alan

Tony thanks.
yes i will be going to Big Al's tommorow to see what is up. bad thing is though that i have allready drilled the appropriate hole to fit the proper size. I am sure i will come up with something though. Alan. Yea that bulk head would probably work perfectly, it is the size i am looking for. are you going to be in the area (priddis! ;) ) soon. just kidding, are you home on thursday or friday, as these are my days off this week?

But Jon said Revy had nothing that would fit it. I know they have 1.5" PVC, that's where I got my 1.5" PVC from. Unless Jon went to a different Revy than the one I go to! (Unlikely, seeing as we both work about a block away from the one I am thinking of..)

Tang Police:
I believe I first saw it on RC. There seems to be a bunch of people that write scathing posts back to any one that keeps a Tang in tank of less than 6'in lenght. I would never post my fish list (rhymes with wish list)there.

Yes tony revy did have 1.5" pipe but what i ment to say was that 1.5" pipe was too big and 1.25" was too small.
i went back today and purchased a 1.5" bulk head. the good old regular kind. Yea for me!

Any standard PVC fitting should fit standard PVC pipe. Is somebody sneaking metric stuff into the mix, or are you mixing ABS and PVC? Or perhaps is it American stuff. I am just asking. :D
