Hi everyone,
Im looking for 1/2 inch bulkheads, anyone in Dover have any? Im finally getting my tank back up and running and an old one cracked when i was trying to disassemble it to re-glue it. LMK what if anyone has some. Thanks
Casey
Casey, unless someone has some for you, no store around here has them. You would have to order them on line.
Thanks A, just wanted to check with people on here to see if someone had any laying around.
DPA carries some behind the counter and Tractor Supply carries them
Hey, if tractor supply carries them, then there a store across from Walmart in Camden. Maybe I’ll go and check it out, I need some too.
Im getting ready to put a order in to bulk reef supplys

tractor supply in camden don’t have it. went there to check it out.
I know the Tractor Supply in Elkton carries then, they have both square flange and round flange, I bought a few there not long ago for my RODI can.
I wouldn’t glue the bulk heads there is no need to. Just makes for a pita if you need to remove or tighten them.
How many are you looking for? Shoot me a pm I have them in stock

Thanks for the response guys, i will never have slip bulkheads again, threaded are so much easier to deal with. I only need 1 and its for my return coming out of the overflow.
I use slip bulk heads with the slip fitting on the outside tank end. that way i can slip a 90 elbow or Tee with a shore piece of pvc pipe into it for either the overflow or return hose… i just use a little silicone to seal it. tie off the lower pipe or hose so as it doesnt wiggle or move and its fine. when i want to remove the piping and bulk head , a quick twist breaks loose the silicone and out it comes. clean as a whistle. dont use silcone on vertical joints. the weight of the piping could pull it apart. but a short horizontal with the elbow going straight down, no problem. there is no thrust pressure from the water flow.
I too hate wasting a good bulkhead. i like to assemble piping with convenient break points. for maintenance.
