Thanks for this. Basic, but if you need to know, it’s a mystery! Thanks for the simple but very useful instruction.
Thanks so much. like the other person mentioned. its pretty basic, but if you have never done this before it is so nice to watch how to do it. makes life a lot easier. thanks again.
I needed this just for some rain barrels (we have a lot of those blue barrels in Michigan for cherries heh)
i found food safe silicone. idk if all silicone is food safe it not but its cheap enough. use it regardless to prevent surprise leaks. it’s more difficult to seal it up when there’s already water in it
Nice informative video! Instead of a knife try a swivel deburring tool, cuts like butter.
thanks for the tip.
Nice I'm making a.buffer tank for my pressure washer and was wondering if a bulkhead would seal on a round plastic tank looks like I'm in buisness!!
Can you let me know if you've had any issues? I just bought a round tank and need to do the same thing
I used a 55 gallon round with a banjo and it's works great no leaks after washing three big houses bro.
Great video, thanks
thank you!
Good video but mine leaks so where do u apply silicone?
The silicone will go on the fixed side. So in this videos case you would silicone the part that is on the inside of the 55 gallon drum. Silicone all the way around the fixed part of the bulkhead fitting.
Thanks!
1 inch bulk head, 1 3/4 inch hole. I'm curious to know if your going to need silicone.
Well basically the only reason I would need silicone is because the tank is rounded. However I more than likely won't need to use silicone.
The hole size is the exact size hole I need for this bulkhead. As seen in the video there is little to no gap when the bulkhead is inserted in the hole.
It is a 1inch bulkhead for 1inch pvc plumbing. But that 1in on the bulkhead is referring to inside diameter or to the fact that it is for 1inch pvc pipe. The bulkhead outer diameter where the nut is threaded onto is pretty much 1 3/4". You won't be able to use a smaller hole for this bulkhead even if you wanted to.
But when I do make the half barrel into a wicking bed we'll see of silicone is needed or not.

1/2" 1 1/8"
3/4" 1 1/2"
1" 1 3/4"
1 1/2" 2 3/8"
2" 3"
Yeah, whadya mean, "there you go" ? What about a tap of some sort? You just jam it in and hope for the best?!
What do you plug it up with?
If you want to plug the this particular bulkhead fitting. You can use a male threaded pvc plug.
The threads are reversed...damn it
Just on the outside. The inside is normal. But you can get bulkheads that don't have the threads reversed.
I'm working with an existing bulkhead and I was unscrewing it as I would anything.....it worked out in the end
O brother !.. lol..
