bulkhead sizing and pipe sizing

I've only heard of bulkhead coming in 1/2" increments. 1/2, 1.0, 1.5 and so on. Are you sure 1.25 isn't the size pipe you need to fit the bulkhead you have?

My suggestion would be to call BRS and ask their customer service people. They will have all the answers and know what questions to ask you to clarify the issue.

Are you positive they're 2" holes? Because the closest I can find is a 1.0" schedule 80 bulkhead but it requires a 1-7/8" drilled hole.

That's the minimum size required for sch 80. Should be able to fit a sch 40 or 80 in there. That's the size I drilled for the return on my 120g.

I would recommend sch 80 even though 40 would fit you'd want to make sure it's centered good when you tighten it down.
