Are all bulkhead fittings created equal.

sch40 is way more than enough for aquaria applications. J&L sells them, OA probably does, I'm sure lots of reef stores do or can suggest where to get them.

The reason I posted this question is that there seems to be alot of play in the locknut on the bulkhead threads. Most people I work with agree that if you picked up a nut and bolt and there was that much play, you would know that you have the wrong nut.
