Just put together some of these bulkheads. Put them together for approx. $3 what do you think?

seems to work. i drilled a tubberware bin and filled it up and it worked fine. Your Bulkheads look good! idk what i was thinking simple is better
 
a bulkhead is like 8$ you saved your self 5 bucks. Are you kiding me??? I would not bother taking the risk of a leak from faulty DIY bulkhead when its $5 more for a good one. I just bought a Hayward 1.5" bulkhead and it was like $10 and those the top of the line.

I was wondering where you can get these $10 Hayward bulkheads....??? Thanks....
 
I wanted to make mine becasue i need 16 of them so i would have spent $128 vs. $48....Thats why i made them. they work fine. no leaks. i put a bead of silicone around the inside and out side.

Unless you really enjoy DIY, I think just getting these would be more cost efficient. $7.99 for a pack of 2.

I was thinking about ordering some stuff from then, but then I did a bit of research and it seems that they're not the best to work with.

Do you have another source of inexpensive ones? It's hard to find them.
