Standard Bulkhead (Slip x Thread) - 3/4"
Ensure a robust and versatile plumbing connection for your filtration system with the Standard Bulkhead (Slip x Thread) - 3/4" fitting. These heavy-duty connectors create a secure, watertight connection through the wall of an aquarium or sump, allowing plumbing to safely move water in or out of the system. Molded from durable black ABS plastic, these low-profile, reef-safe bulkheads feature a slightly thicker construction than many standard aquarium bulkheads for added strength and reliability under heavy water pressure. This hybrid design features a slip configuration on the flange or head side and a threaded configuration on the stem side, giving you the perfect balance for your layout. The slip side allows you to glue plumbing fittings or PVC pipe directly into the bulkhead for a permanent, robust installation that is leak-free inside the tank or overflow box. Meanwhile, the threaded stem side lets you screw fittings directly onto the bulkhead for a semi-permanent installation, making future plumbing changes, pump removals, or maintenance underneath your sump much easier. Complete with a heavy-duty rubber gasket, this premium 3/4-inch bulkhead ensures long-term safety and performance for your saltwater reef tank or freshwater fish tank setup.

How Do I Pick the Right Bulkhead for My Project?
Threaded vs. Slip Connections
Bulkheads are available with either threaded or slip connections for attaching plumbing.
- Threaded: Threaded fittings screw directly into the bulkhead for a semi-permanent installation. Threaded connections make future plumbing changes easier, but they can sometimes increase the chance of a leak.
- Slip: Plumbing fittings or PVC pipe are glued directly into the bulkhead for a permanent installation. Slip connections are often the most robust option for long-term use.
