LF Emergency 1-1/4 Bulkhead!

[GreenSpottedPuffer]

I need to find a 1-1/4 Bulkhead tomorrow morning. I have a big problem if I can't....So far I have noticed no aquarium stores carry them locally, anyone know of where I might find one?

Or if you have one for sale in Vancouver, please let me know.

Actually if you have one and I can come by tonight that would be even better...as long as you are in the Vancouver area.

I was plumbing the new tank and messed up the old bulkhead. Now my tank is about 1/2 empty and I can't fill it up until I get a new bulkhead

So its a bit of an emergency!

So...J&L and Ocean Aquatics sites both says they do not carry 1-1/4" bulkheads. Does anyone know if King Eds has plumbing supplies? I seem to remember Big Als having bulkheads...anyone know?

how are bulkheads measured? Is it the ID? or the size of the hole in the glass?

Depends on the bulkhead. For slip bulkheads, the ID will be 1-1/4" but for thread it will be 1" on the female side and 1-1/4 on the male side.

It should say right on the bulkhead though.

The hole in the glass will be a bit bigger than the bulkhead size.

I have one that is just shy of 1-3/8 slip for (inside of tank) and just slightly larger than
1-1/4 threaded on the part that goes outside of tank. The pipe that is threaded, that goes into that is OD 1-1/4
