Need help with sump please!

I got all the pipe fittings today and it seems like something isn't right.

 

[ndz98]

The 90 degree slip fittings aren't fitting into the bulkhead

 

[m0nk3y69d]

is it a 90 street or just a regular 90

Yes it's a 90 street

I think the threads are supposed to be on the opposite ends of the bulkheads except the last one that I have. I'm not really sure how the regular 90 would fit on the bulkheads still even if that was the case.

Okay so if the slip was on the flange side, essentially that's how it would be set up on the tank, correct? Still unsure what these 90 degree regular fittings are for?

Looks to me like you would put the threaded lock line on the top of the bulk head and in the bottom would go the street 90 and then the threaded barbed 90

The street 90 has no threads so that wouldn't work. I've got the return side all good it's just my overflow side that's messed up but I believe it's the fact that the thread part is on the wrong side of the bulkhead.

They sell bulkheads threaded internally on both ends. Your's is Threaded/Slip.

You can glue a street-elbow into the slip-side of that bulkhead.

I would but then I wouldn't have anything to put on the internal part of the tank. The street elbows are supposed to go on the flange side and the threaded barb can go on the external part so it would save room behind the tank since they stick out less than the street elbows.

Are you going to replace the bulkhead?

I'm hoping they will let me exchange it for the right ones. If I get the ones with the slip on the flange side then I will have no need for the 90 degree fittings and can return those also.
