TeflonTomDosh Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 So, got my tank drilled and appropriate fittings for overflow and returns done last week. Now I'm at home depot to get tubing, pipe, etc, etc. Well I'm told these regular PVC pipe threads won't fit on my overflow or return threads, looks like there's more threads on the black ones vs standard PVC. Anyone have any idea where I can get the right plumbing for this, retail locations preferably? Pic attached is the 1" return line... Link to comment

Standard plumping (white stuff) from Home depot will fit, be sure using silicon tape when connecting them together. You could look some online retail store like Marine depot Link to comment

TeflonTomDosh Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 Ok, so I figured it out. I'm supposed to use the threads on the inside of the bulkhead/return fittings. Duh Link to comment
Lawnman Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Who uses threaded bulkheads? Slip to slip glue and primer never any leaks FTW. Link to comment
