What physical hole size is needed for a bulkhead?

Friday, 10 April 2009 21:39

There are several factors to consider with the hole size needed for a bulkhead. The information below is considered "general" guidelines for the most popular types of bulkheads. (For example they may not apply to schedule 80 bulkheads).

  • 3/4 inch bulkhead:  1 1/2 inches (thick walled bulkheads need 1 3/4 inch hole)
  • 1 inch bulkhead: 1  3/4 inches
  • 1 1/2 inch bulkhead: 2  1/2 inches

Be sure to check with your supplier before ordering, and be sure to have bulkheads in hand before having a tank custom drilled!!

I have lived with noisy overflows in my 180 for several months now, that is, until I found a reference to your website on reefcentral. I followed your great instructions and installed my Standpipes last night! I experienced the same initial problems you referred to, but, thanks to your great problem solving, I was able to fix them just as you described! EasyPeasy!!! Wow, they do work great. It is so nice having a quiet tank, not to mention that fact that they keep an extra few gallons from spilling into the sump should there be a power outage or pump failure! Well, you have been a great resource to me and I am very grateful to you. Thanks again for sharing your experience and knowledge and providing us with a great and simple fix.
