Do These Exist?

I'm looking for a 1.5" bulkhead that is solid instead of hollow. The image below is a standard bulk head. Does anyone make them so they can plug holes?

I did some searching and couldn't find anything online. What about just threading a plug in there?

This should work

Maybe a plug is what you're looking for?

Schedule 80 PVC Threaded Plugs

Schedule 80 Threaded Plugs allow can thread into any threaded fitting. Plugs are a great low-profile alternative to standard caps. These are excellent for sealing up unused bulkheads and other plumbing fittings. The golden rule of plumbing is that every job takes three trips to the store...

Wouldn't you just glue in a piece of pvc with an end cap on it?

For me I feel if you glue with pvc glue it permanent I have been using reef safe silicone instead of glue and I let dry over night. This way if I need to I can use pliers and twist plug out and reuse bulkhead in future

Threaded plug can be got at hardware store aswell

All good ideas.... and will probably end up having to use a threaded plug.... but was wondering if they made a solid bulkheads for this purpose.

I need to seal 4 x 1.5" holes in the bottom of a 300 gallon glass tank.

Ooh that scares me. Definitely go sch80 or better yet have a big piece of glass cut and siliconed over the whole bottom of the tank

Just buy glass and aquarium silicone the glass to the holes.. that’s been done before quite a few people here on r2r posted it..

Heck I think I asked the same question like 2 years ago because I wanted to add a ghost overflow and bean method

It is a Marineland 300 Deep that I am setting up as a peninsula. I would much prefer to use a solid, single piece bulkhead but have not been able to find any. I guess a threaded plug in a threaded bulkhead is the next best thing.

I will be adding more holes... but to one of the sides for a Synergy Shadow Overflow.
