Can I reuse bulkheads?

MarineGirl411 · Nov 20, 2009

Just wondering if it would be safe to reuse bulkheads? Please let me know. TY

As long the bulkhead rubber gasket is not brittle or deteriorated, it should be fine to reuse again.

just replace the teflon tape around the threads too, and you're good to go.....life time of use out of them!

YAY. Thank you all. =)

i would make sure the rubbers are clean before you install them.

make sure the threads are tight as well... i had one where the threads were worn and it would not tighten up as much as needed...
