Are all bulkheads created equal?

Has anyone heard of Lifegard Aquatics bulkheads? If so are they any good? I've found them for a decent price but want to make sure they are okay.

Do you have any recommendations on bulkheads and where to get them? I need 16 of them so it all adds up.

Thanks!
 
Bought mine in bulk off of ebay, amekaaquatic was seller. Look as good as the ones we used to plumb the store I worked at.
 
I generally buy all my bulkhead from JEHMCO or Kens Fish.

I also get them from Jehmco but beyond brand, I prefer everything I use to have as many options as possible, because things always change, and evolve.
So I prefer bulkheads to be threaded on the outside, and inside, in order to easily accommodate whatever changes I may dream up.
 
I've bought a few of the lifeguard aquatics bulkheads from marinedepot. They cost about half of what they do on amazon.

Just put 2 more in last night. No leaks so far knock on wood

I've always ordered from glass-holes.com, never had any problems, plus they toss in a few pieces of candy with every order.

Great quality at good prices.
 
All my bulkheads are from Bulk Reef Supply. I don't know think they're probably the cheapest you can buy, but what I use. A family member suggested to me since the ABS that used just seems not as "brittle" as some of the other brands and seems to tighten well. The one thing I've noticed was that the are sometimes small little remains from the molding process which I don't like from a seal perspective. Overall they have worked well, and, I don't know if that's specific to the BRS brand or all bulkheads have that.
