What is a bulkhead fitting?
A bulkhead fitting allows piping connections to be made to a tank. A hole is cut in the tank into which the fitting body is inserted. A locknut threads onto the body to hold it in place. The locknut puts pressure on the gasket(s) that allows it to make a liquid tight seal.04.06.2008
How do you seal bulkhead fittings?
Fitting, the bulkhead fittings seal by drilling a single hole into the sidewall of the tank. The installer places a ring gasket onto the bulkhead fitting, and it goes from the inside of the tank to the outside through the hole. A compression nut then threads onto the bulkhead fitting, is tightened up and is sealed.07.03.2022
Where does gasket go on bulkhead?
Always install the gasket on the flange side of the bulkhead, never on the nut side, regardless if its inside or outside the tank. Installing the gasket next to the nut will lead to leaks as water travels along the threads around the gasket.10.01.2010
Why is my bulkhead leaking?

How do I fix a leaking bulkhead in my aquarium?
The main piece that usually causes leaks is the gasket. Check to make sure that the gasket is still rubber and not cracked or otherwise broken. If the gasket has seen better days it is best to replace the gasket. Sizing the gasket can be tough unless you know the exact bulkhead brand, size, and they offer replacements.
How do you size a bulkhead?
You need to measure the OD of the PVC pipe going into the bulkhead, and take the bulkhead off and measure the hole in the glass. Once you measure the pipe OD, you need to reference a pipe chart to determine the nominal pipe size. For example, 1″ pipe has a 1.315″ diameter measurement, 1.5″ pipe is 1.9″ OD, and so on.02.12.2017
