Bulkhead Sizes

[Skins]

Can anyone confirm the bulkhead sizes on the aqueon 180 gallon tanks? I measured and it appears that all four holes are 1"&3/4. If so, from my understanding, schedule 80 bulkheads probably won't work. Is that correct?

Thanks.

Interesting. Most of the tanks have a return slightly smaller than the drain.

However yes, if they're all 1 3/4" holes, that's the typical 1" bulkhead size.

Yes I know that 13/4 = 1" bulkhead. I also know most standard aquariums have 1" drain and 3/4" return

My question is twofold: one, Does a aqueon 180 have all four holes the same size of 13/4". Secondly, does 13/4" preclude me from using schedule 80 bulkheads?

There are no standard 1 3/4" SCH80's that I'm aware of. They will either be slightly too small or slightly too big.
