DIY Bulkhead

orbela · May 7, 2014

So i have a 1.5" hole and a 1.75" hole. The electrical pvc male adapter and the female adapter I got at Home depot are not long enough since glass is thick. Any other way to make a bulkhead? Is there a LFS that sells bulkheads? Do not want to wait for shipping plus if it does not fit I want to exchange fast not wait. By the way I live in Downtown LA if anybody know of close LFS that sell the bulkhead.

the fittings wouldn't be hard, the hard part is the gasket for the bulkhead. making it yourself would not be cost effective, nor efficient use of time.

the time you spend to make a DIY, you would have been better off just calling around to confirm they have the bulkheads you want, and driving.

I would not DIY a bulkhead. Might have to drive a little, but I know for a fact marine depot will have what u need.

I had the same issue couldn't find it anywhere! I PM Chance of Coral, sponsor here, and they took care of it.

If your in so cal, I've always relieved my package next day

Just make sure it's in stock. Give them a call, easier that way.

This is a hobby of patience, wait the 2-3 days and do it right, last thing you want is a diy bulkhead that leaks

orbela · May 8, 2014

I ruled out diy I'm going pre-assembled.
