When planning out my tank, found the outside thread of a bulkhead is made for the nut only, it's not the same as a threaded fitting (pipe thread (tapered?) vs standard).
Seems the connection to the bulkhead is to be internal only, either threaded or slip, not over the outside. The only exception I found where you would go over the outside was bard type bulkheads common in hydroponics.

For sure those outside treads are just for the nut, I also found out the hard way. Sounds like you got a 1" bulkhead.

Ok so I got 1" bulkheads so I got the bushing to slip inside but it reduces it down to 3/4 now I have to get another fitting to go back up to 1". How much reduction in the flow is this going to be.
This is getting to be a real pain the the F@#$%&*g A%$
