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
When measuring for bulkheads, you will need a hole in your tank that is slightly larger (1-3mm) than the "C" measurement for the corresponding bulkhead but no larger than the "A" measurement. (see image)
Example: If you have a 1.75" diameter hole currently in your tank, then you would want to use the 3/4" Sch 80 Bulkhead.

Product Questions
I have several of these bulkheads in my aquarium and Sump - can you please tell me if they are ozone safe (bulkhead and o ring)?
Thanks
Many thanks,
Matt Paul
Happy reefing!
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
David
The holes just have to be large enough for the spindle of the bulkhead to go through, but small enough that the flange, o-ring, and nut still have something to grab onto (i.e. bigger then dimension C but smaller than dimension A). This leaves quiet a wide area to work with but best to err on the side of a smaller hole rather then a larger one. In your case with those particular bulkheads you would use a 2" and a 1.75" bit.
Unfortunately the holes would not match up. The sch80 bulkheads require a significantly larger hole but the sch80 pipe will work just fine with the abs bulkheads.
Sorry but those are unavailable in the sch80 bulkheads. We do however have them in ABS bulkheads.
