1/4" Bulkhead availability?

Bryn · Jul 18, 2020

Building a Berghia Nudibranchs setup based on the Dene Banger design. He uses a 1/4" Bulkhead, and I'm not finding them anywhere. Does anyone have a source for this bulkhead. I'm prone to following the design to the letter, but if these are like unicorns, then I will amend the design,

Thanks both, but it is for a wet application, and they look just like a regular Bulkhead, but are 1/4", I'm wondering if he meant 1 1/4"

I have a spectrapure RO unit and there is a 3/8" bulkhead low in the reservoir that draws water to clean the membrane after it makes water. They sell a similar bulkhead in 1/4" as well. I recommend confirming with spectrapure, but the 1/4" bulkhead appears to be intended for a wet application.
