Where can I find this loc-line fitting?

[BlueRoofTang]

I put a bulkhead in a return line that's NOT threaded inside the tank. I want to put a 3/4" loc-line setup inside of it. I can't find an adapter to go from male slip to loc-line. They're all male threaded.

I really want to avoid putting a bright white pvc adapter inside the display.

use gray sch 80 pvc

I could make that compromise...if I have to. I'd just rather have one adapter than have to go slip-npt, then the npt to loc-line.

change out the bulkhead from 1" slip/slip to 1"slip/3/4" threaded.
should have done the homework before hand.

This, unfortunately, is no longer an option. You'll either need to go this route or do what ClownNut suggested and swap out the bulkhead.

Only way I can think of would be to reduce your 3/4" bulkhead to a slip in 3/4">1/2" reducing bushing. Then the inside 1/2" can be threaded. Depends if flow or appearance is your final goal...

What size "slip" is your bulkhead?
Seems some that have relied already have already made assumptions... But lets get correct info here..

Even though ClownNuts response may have stung a bit.. Changing the bulkhead is probably the simple/proper/best solution..

I had that issue on the first tank I set up & I eventually changed the bulkhead. Anything other then black didn't look good & with the adapters it stuck out to far for my liking.

If u can find the adapter in black it would look good but it will still stick out from the bulkhead, which I don't know if thats a issue for u or not. The only other option would be to use a 3/4" to 1/2" bushing so it slides into the bulkhead. Once u screw the loc line adapter in it will hide the bushing, but u would have 1/2" instead of 3/4" locline
