Anyone Have A Source for Short Shaft Bulkheads?

[Fin]

I am working on a custom sump and would like to use some short shaft bulkheads because I am trying to save space, both inside and out of the sump. I have found some 1½", but for some reason, I cannot find 1" or 3/4". I was wondering if anyone has found these before and where. Thanks!

I've never seen a short shaft bulkhead but cant you just cut a standard bulkhead shorter with a hack saw? It's worked for me before.

When I've needed them shorter I just cut with with a hacksaw or dremel and use some fine sand paper to clean up the cut. Never had any problems.

[FONT=@Arial Unicode MS]Yeah, I know I can cut them off, but would rather not, unless I have to. This is what I have seen before on other tanks (available from Aquatic-Eco Systems), just for some reason it appears it is only available in 1½". I need 1".

Try glass-holes.com
If you need slip, then do NOT cut it yourself as the holes are tapered.

Thanks. I did try Glass-Holes and was told that the ones they use are cut. It appears that I may be looking for something that doesn't exist, except in 1½". Thanks for letting me know the slip bulkhead are tapered. I did not realize that.

Your photo looks more like a shower drain or sink drain than a bulkhead because the gasket is so thick. I know a friend who used shower drains because he had them and they worked.
