Overflow Question

[rwall]

what do you use to seal the hose to the bulkhead in the overflow box? I have a slight leak and I'm not sure what I should use to seal it up...

should be a rubber gasket

 

[rwall]

No, the leak is where the hose plugs into the bulkhead, not the actual bulkhead.

I used aquarium sealicone. Let it dry for a while and it worked for me. But I only had a small leak right at the top of the tube where it attached to the bulkhead. Good luck

Thanks. That is what I was thinking of using, I just wanted to see what others had done before I did it.

If it's the flex hose just use a hose clamp from auto store.

A hose clamp wouldn't work, it plugs up into it not over the top.
But it's fine now...turns out that a little piece of plumbing tape slipped down in between the bulkhead and the hose causing it to leak. Woops

It's the small things that always get you.
