Ok does anyone know why my bulkhead won’t stop leaking I have tried everything it isn’t overthithened it is under tightened there are no imperfections on it just it won’t stop and there isn’t anything wrong with the tank glass.

If any of you are in jax FL let me know if you can do this or if you know any companies. Please

Where on the bulkhead is it leaking from? And it may seem obvious but do you have the gasket on the flange side of the bulkhead? Do you have another bulkhead you can try? They’re made of thin ABS so they can crack fairly easily

Are you reusing old gasket?

No all brand new

No all brand new

I would still check it, I had one on a new setup hold water fine for a few days and then had a leak. Gasket was split. I had tightened and test fit everything a few times prior to filling the tank. I take it you have set up over flows before?

And the entire bulkhead is new

@The Roaming Reefer had asked about gasket placement. Is the gasket on the water side or the outside

Is it just hand tight?

No I used a tool to tighten it more but it wasn’t over thightened

I would take it apart and clean everything. Double check everything and try again.
