Random Thought Hey.....
Today while looking into my make shift holding tank while our build continues- I noticed one of my Feather Dusters moved into a recently vacated large snail shell. Got to admit, I love the little guys ingenuity!

That's so cool! Didn't know they did that! (The feather duster moving into the shell)

At the risk of pointing out another problem, you can install bulkheads either way but the gasket should always go on the flanged side and not the nut side. So with your orientation the gasket should be on the outside, otherwise water can leak out through the threads.

PS, I just want to help to prevent problems, not state things now just to through it in your face later.

This is what I didn't want to get into, but ya, this is an issue you're going to have with your bulkheads .....
