Lifeguard Aquatics Heavy Wall Bulkhead (3/4-inch Double Threaded)
I recently used the Lifeguard Aquatics Heavy Wall Bulkhead for a custom installation in my saltwater aquarium, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The high-quality PVC construction is incredibly durable and gives me confidence in its long-term reliability. The jet-black color blends seamlessly with my tank's background, maintaining a clean and professional appearance. Installation was straightforward and hassle-free, even for someone who doesn’t consider themselves a plumbing expert. The double-threaded design made the connections secure and versatile, perfect for adapting to various setups. There were no leaks, and the gasket provided a perfect seal on the first try. This bulkhead is an excellent choice for anyone looking to upgrade or customize their aquarium plumbing. I highly recommend it for its quality, ease of use, and value. Rating: 5/5

Good product
Worked well and still is doing so...

Good fitting at a good price
Quick, easy installation and leak free operation. Much cheaper than I could find elsewhere for a rain barrel fitting. I'd read reviews about people breaking these on install. Not sure how that would happen. Everything worked well for me. I used 4 of these for connections on rain barrels. Needed an adapter to hook up a garden hose and then all done.

Be careful not to overtighten because they are not super durable. Other then that one issue they work create for what I am using them for. One is connected to a swirl filter in my aquaponics set up that feeds the water to my grow beds. The others are in the growbeds and are set up with a bell siphon. So far no leaks.

Worked great to build an emergency water barrel
Used these for a batch of emergency water barrels for our Oakland, CA neighborhood. They worked great even though the bulkhead screw + spigot ended up costing more than the barrel itself! (BTW here's the secret to making this work if you have a 2-bunghole barrel and you don't want to cut the whole top off to reach in to manage the installation: dangle a string through one of the bungholes into the barrel, pull it through your newly drilled hole near the bottom, and then slide the bulkhead screw along the string down to the hole). A small bead of silicone in addition to the included rubber gasket ensured a 100% watertight fit. A brass lead-free garden hose spigot screwed in perfectly to the outboard end of this part.

For 55 gallon rain barrels
I bought two of these to install drainage holes in the bottoms of two 55-gallon plastic barrels, which I will be using for collecting rainwater and let me tell you, these saved me quite a few dollars(with amazon prime of course). They have the same product at menards, but its over 13 dollars a piece!! One word of advice though, DON'T tighten down the lock nut until you have a fitting screwed tightly into the end opposite the external thread. I loosened up the fitting that I had screwed in there AFTER I had already tightened down the lock nut and ended up snapping the part in half right at the bottom of the external thread. I was quite upset with myself... anyway, they're good quality, all the parts are hard PVC, and it includes a sealing washer... ALSO, these will fit in a 1-3/8 hole or a 1-1/2 hole diameter (which is what I used)

Not threaded all the way
It's a quality product but I was hoping it would be threaded further in so I could look off the end. Just don't have the room. Build is good

Perfect
I actually used a few of these in a weird fish tank I built with an EPDM liner for my greenhouse. Coupled with brass fittings, they allowed me to run pump hoses through the wall of the tank rather than out the top of the tank. It seems to have sealed against the EPDM liner perfectly, and I left the rubber washer on it in case that would help it seal, even though it was going to press against rubber on the inside. All I had to do was drill a hole in the plywood large enough for the threaded portion to go through, and the nut tightens down on the outside of the plywood. I'm very glad I found these things.

Works great. I would buy more but the price doubled since my last order. Too expensive at $10.
