Kremit Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Hi guys,, where does everyone get tank bulkheads from,,, i've recently aquired 2 stands that can hold 6 2footers each, and 12 2ft tanks, and want to sump/plumb them. Just trying to find my cheapest option to put bulkheads in, ideally the threaded ones so i can put risers and strainers on them. Thanks Krem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 I got mine from a place at Springwood, it was a irrigation supplier. They were really handy and had all the items in stock. The even sold strainers etc. He even shipped as well. I can get you the details if you need them, just PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackayman Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 As above, pumping and irrigation shops the best place. Brendan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodie03 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Total Eden have them. I think they have a shop at Morayfield. They can be a little pricey though. You can also check out Powell (formerly Tony Powell) at Geebung if you don't mind a bit of a drive. I would save your time and not bother with Reece. I checked their price for a 25mm bulkhead some time ago and they wanted over $25 when Total Eden wanted about $11 from memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancalimon Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Give Irrigation and Water Tank Systems. Irrigation equipment supplies by Wet Earth a go. The bulkheads are listed as "tank inlet" fittings. cya Graeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kremit Posted February 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Masters has them, 25mm threaded for just over $10, like $10.70 or so, when I'm ready think ill just grab it from there, thanks for your help guys. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish4fish3 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 You've probably driven past it a dozen times - Bunnings mate!. They always have every thing I need for DIY projects here in Coffs Harbour and I know they have bulk heads of all sizes. But I've been using what's called a "V ring" and purchase them from oil seal and bearing suppliers for less than $2. They are a grommet and a good cheap substitute that I used in my IBC set up, But ask for NAK brand they are thicker and better quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kremit Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Yeah might just be my local bunnings, but i have checked there many times, they dont have them, spoke to a dozen different bunnings sales staff, and most of them didnt know what i was on about. Will have to look into this V ring setup, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuffy_rana Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Yeah might just be my local bunnings, but i have checked there many times, they dont have them, spoke to a dozen different bunnings sales staff, and most of them didnt know what i was on about. Will have to look into this V ring setup, bunnings at browns plains and both the ones at kuraby have them. they are in the same aisle as the black poly hose and fittings for spinkler systems. truth be told i think sometimes the staff would rather say "nah, dont think we do em" then actually have a look HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
