Best fittings for 55g drum

[LukeOscar]

Looking for opinions on the best type of fiting to use on a 55g plastic drum to get water tight seals. Also that wont break the bank.

Most good lfs will have them, especially if they have a saltwater section. Kens or BRS always has them in stock too. Pool supply stores or Ace hardware.

Totally agree, I've never had to put a bulkhead on a curved surface, not sure how well they would seal.
And at just over $3 for a 1.5", you cant get much cheaper than that.
