Bulkheads

[REEFER-RICK]

Do Bulkheads need 2 gaskets or just one got two and only came with one gasket each? Setting up my 100 gallon cube and want to make sure,also how much is too tight

My schedule 80 bulkheads just have one.

There is only one place to put a gasket on a bulkhead so only one is needed

Regarding how tight to set the bulkhead: Do not over tighten.
The rubber gasket just needs enough compression to deform it enough to form a water tight seal.
Don't risk cracking the tank or bulkhead.

doesn’t hurt to have an extra on hand! definitely put the extra gasket to the side in case of an emergency! gaskets are usually the first to go
