why homedepot doesn't carry bulkheads

[dz6t]

Why? are bulkheads for this hobby only?

There is really no use in a home for a tank bulkhead.

Actually..... I think I have seen them with the water heater spilage pans that you can buy to go under our water heaters

I found a pool supply store had decent prices & stock on some plumbing items. But these are usually the larger sizes

speaking of plumbing.... does anyone know where I can find clear and concise illustrated plans on how to set up (and all the in's and out's of) a sump system? I just picked up a 125 and would like info on how to get started.

You can search here for "sump" especially in the Do It Yourself forum.

Also check out www.melevsreef.com I think he's got a good description of sumps and how they work.

What size bulkheads are you looking for and for what use?

 

[rtc_reefer]

I believe that marine supply stores will also carry bulkheads.
