Other than a couple of internet sites, I haven't been able to find bulk heads at local stores. I would like to be able to SEE them so I can make sure I buy the right size.

Where do you buy pieces like that?

Thanks,

any plumping stores, or the LFS should be able to get them in. but my first trip would be to an irragation & plumbing store.
just give them the size pipe & they will point u in the right dirrection.

many plumbing stores refer to them as tank adapters.

OK, thanks. I'll have to check that out. I have one of them, but I need to find one more.

When all else fails, I'm an eBay fan. Whatever it doesn't show in the pic, or say in the listing, email the seller. I've probably bought a half dozen bulkheads there. You may need to search more than once on different days.

For something like a bulkhead, I would add the word aquarium to it, to narrow the search.

And welcome to TR...
