Short 1" Bulkheads

[redcoatd]

Hi,

Have looked everywhere I can find on the Internet to find 3 short 1" bulkheads, with no success.

Does anyone know where I might find them? Or have some they'd be willing to sell?

cheers

just buy a high quality bulkhead (like the pvc ones at BRS) and carefully cut the threads.

The only problem with that is that they are the larger hole size...

I also tried cutting the regular 1" bulkheads down, but there's an internal lip (for some reason) which stops you from inserting the pipe once you've cut it down

Im guessing they are slip/slip? the lip is to keep the pipes from either side getting pushed in to far, if you want them to work post cutting youll need to sand(or dremel) out the lip and probably glue the pipes since they will have much less contact area with the bulkhead and will be more prone to slipping out and leaking

Just check that you've already ruled out Uniseals for your application:

I need these for BeanAnimal overflow, where I am trying to keep the vertical pipes as close as possible to the tank. So:

Thanks - Will threaded even work in that situation?

Thanks for the suggestion...don't know much about them! I'm guessing that they don't work great for an actual bulkhead?

cheers

The inside part of those are threaded. Not sure what you are trying to use them for
