just take the ones you have to shop,have them order new ones...

 

[sfin52]

You know your size. Do you need slip or threaded on the flange side, slip or threaded on the tail side?

I was thinking about slip for both

I don't have any shops close that do that. The closest fish store that I could go to is an hour plus away.

Look who found the nem. She looks so good in it. And she is so gentle. Sh is also becoming more feisty. Love it

Would this be a good bulkhead

Bulkhead ABS Slip x Slip

Bulkheads are used to attach plumbing to aquariums and sumps to allow water to flow through them. These low profile reef safe bulkheads are made from black ABS plastic. Our supplier manufactures these slightly thicker than competitor aquarium bulkheads making them more reliable. Bulkheads come...

Bulkhead Schedule 80 Slip x Thread (Slip on the Flange/Head side)

Bulkheads allow plumbing to flow through your aquarium or sump. Heavy duty Schedule 80 PVC bulkheads feature some distinct advantages over ABS bulkheads: O-Rings are 2X as thick as ABS O-Rings Schedule 80 construction will far outlast ABS Reliable seams Flange and nut side are very easy to grip...

Yes those bulkheads will work. You'll also want a gate valve for the primary on both sides

 

[sfin52]

Folks Thanks for your patience and all the info. Really learning a lot

One's easier to close quickly, one get your finer adjustment. Six of one half dozen of the other I think.

 

[sfin52]

All the plumbing besides bulkheads i can get at lowes or menards. Sorry closest homedepot is 1hr away

 

[fishguy242]

Menards usually has better selection too...

edit ,stay away from flat bottom ball valves, they never shut all the way after time.

 

[sfin52]

I do like menards for plumbing and lumber

Bulk heads in cart. They are 1 inch slip ×slip. Sleeping on it really thinking of slip and thread. I like the quick disconnect.

Was looking at the 80s after reading the Abs should be fine and the 80s are way over kill.

Also going herbie drains. I like the ease of fine tuning for noise reduction. The returns will be over the back.

Do I wake the sleeping beauty. Not a chance. Will have them ordered tomorrow.

When it is all set up will it be hard to have access to the bulkheads? And your holes will not take sch80 bulkheads anyways so that's not really an option unless you wanted to step down in size but even then it's not a good idea

Honestly no need to run dual one inch herbie drains, I don't believe you plan on running 2500+ GPH through your sump but I may be mistaken. If you want the returns can be run using two of the 1 inch pipes in the overflows. Just trying to keep your options open

It was set up as 2 dorso and 2 one inch returns. I was thinking herbies to make it quieter
