Overview

Getting water to pass through a drilled tank, sump or container without leaking is one of the fundamentals of reef plumbing, and that's exactly what a bulkhead fitting does. This Sanking bulkhead creates a secure, watertight seal at a drilled hole, letting you plumb a drain, overflow or return line straight through the wall of your vessel.

It's a simple, essential part - the kind of fitting every DIY sump, container or aquascaping project eventually needs.

Key features
  • Creates a watertight seal at a drilled hole in glass, acrylic or plastic vessels
  • Threaded connection for attaching standard PVC fittings on either side
  • Corrosion-resistant construction suited to long-term saltwater use
Who it's for

Anyone plumbing a sump, overflow box, container drilling, or custom reef system who needs a reliable, leak-free pass-through point.

Setup & tips
  • Use the correct hole size for the bulkhead - too tight or too loose a fit compromises the seal
  • Tighten evenly and avoid over-tightening, which can crack acrylic or stress glass
  • Use PTFE tape or silicone sealant on the threads for extra insurance against slow leaks
  • Check the seal periodically, especially in the first few weeks after installation
