Salt creep around bulkheads?

Salt creep = leak

You shouldn't use anything with bulkheads. I find the cheap thin ones are pretty sensitive, often what happens is the piping attached puts torque on the bulkheads and causes a leak. Especially with larger pipe which can be quite heavy when full. Best solution is to replace them with sch80 bulkheads.

I'm pretty sure I got these ones from Dave at Concept, but I can not remember what they are. I don't have any of my plumbing supported and its all pvc, no flex pipe so I could see weight being an issue. Will have to see if this can be dealt with tonight.

Yeah the ones that Dave sell are the thin ones. They can work fine but piping needs to be supported or run in such a manner that very little load is applied to the bulkheads. The only issue is sch80 bulkheads require bigger hole sizes so you'll have to use a smaller size.
