based on the link that is a 3/4 threaded bulkhead, but a 3/4 nipple cut it in half, thread inside the bulkhead and adapt to a 3/4 union. should be pretty easy.

If you are trying to thread over the bulhead you likely will not find the correct thread.

sorry mr. OM is not threaded on the inside only on the outside it has the threads. but i guess i can still do the same thing. use a 3/4" pvc pipe slip it in put the union on...so i guess there isn't anything that will thread over the bulkhead to a 3/4" reducer?
thanks for the help btw

Use the slip slip fittings as you mentioned, typically good bulkhead fittings will be both left handed and buttress threads for best results, likely the one you have is just a generic tank adapter and the outside thread isn't likely to be of any standard engineered thread.
