Bulkheads Not something plumbing stores carry?

[AquaFrenzy]

I called around to a bunch of well known plumbing stores and none of them stack bulk heads, even Lowes has a couple in stock... would I have better luck maybe at a hot tub dealers or Home Depot? I haven't tried anywhere but ACE and Lowes other than that calls I made to big local suppliers...thanks!

You may need to use BRS or Marine Depot. Perhaps Granger?

I would also check your local fish stores.

Amazon has a large selection of cheap bulkheads.

I had to buy all of mine from amazon. Took me a little searching but I found someone on there with just about every thread and slip combo you could want and priced very well.
my lfs that did have them, wanted somewhere around $10 each. I think I paid half that or less.

I've always gone with Amazon. I'm located in Canada, and go through Amazon.ca, but I usually get them in two or three days at less than $5 each.

Both will carry them and other fittings that you won't even know you need until you see them!!!

i know. i ran into this problem. then i had to pay more cause the fsh store was the only place that had them

I get mine from champion lighting. They are like $8. They said they are abs put my plumbing supply said they were schedule 80 which they have a Grey color to them so they may be. Also pvc shouldn't glue to abs like it does on the bulkheads.

thanks for the responses! I guess it wouldn't hurt to try a couple LFS before I go the online route, just tired of walking into those places feeling obligated to buy everything just to get some help...
