In my layout the bulkhead nuts are impossible for a wrench and not even that easy for fingers. As the nuts should only be hand tight, made up some "sockets" for 1" and 2" bulkheads using pieces of aluminum and PVC pipe that would fit over the threaded part of the bulkhead, then milled out for the nut. Added some abrasive tape for grip.
Do have to say worked perfect for hand tightening and if wanted tighter could put a pipe wrench on them or drill holes for a bar.  Last edited by mark; 02-26-2008 at 12:45 AM. Reason: added picture

I found hooking up my herbie that I had to use a combo of a pipe wrench and plyers to get it tight.. what a pain in the butt. Then again I learner that it is not the best idea to install the bulkheads after the tank is on the stand and full of water
