Water tank bulkhead

[mscichlid]

The water tank that I got at a meeting has a 1 3/4" hole drilled at the bottom. I'd like to either plug it or be able to pump water from it. What type and size bulkhead attachment thingy do I need?

I used uniseals on mine and they work great. They are easy to install and inexpensive.

I'm thinking a 2in would work. I'll have to go and dig one out to measure. I'll post as soon as I find out

Francine,

If you order a uniseal let me know - I need one and I'm willing to split the shipping cost.

That size hole is for a 3/4" bulkhead. Whether you use if for the water supply or to plug the hole, I would use a threaded one so it's easy to get plumbing on and off. The uniseals work great on the curved surfaces of the tank. Let me know if you need help.

BF1THD2 - Fits a 1 3/4" hole. Uses 1" threaded pipe. I am pretty sure the pump I gave you use 1" threaded pipe as well. You would have to put a ball valve in between the tank and the pump to turn the water flow off and on.
