1.75" Bulkhead

[nes999]

I purchased a tank on friday 7 foot by 2 foot by 2 foot. On my overflow it has a 1.75" bulkhead. I need another one but i cannot find anywhere, online or in person that sells these. Does anybody know where I could get these.

the hole size is not 1.75". The inside of the bulkhead is 1.75 inches.

There is no such thing as 1.75" pipe. So either you have a metric bulkhead, or your not reading your tape right, and it's actually either the o.d. of 1 1/4" pipe, or 1 1/2" pipe.

Probably OD of 1 1/2" pvc. PVC is measured by inside diameter, so the outside diameter is going to be larger

But the od of 1 1/2" is 1.9" i believe. I think 1 1 /4" is 1.6 od.

Remove the bulkhead and measure the hole. Match the bulkhead to the hole size. If the hole size is too off, perhaps you have to make the hole bigger to acommodate a bigger bulkhead.

2 3/8" to 2 1/2" holes will take 1 1/2" bulkheads. If the hole is bigger than 2 1/2", you may need a 2" bulkhead.

The hole could also be drilled for schedule 80 bulkheads.

Exactly! Schedual 80 will need a larger drilled hole.
