Trust By Jason on 6/12/2017
Jason would recommend this product to a friendWhen you have a need for a bulkhead you're putting a lot of trust in that piece of plastic. It's worth it when hundreds of gallons of water behind that piece of plastic to get the schedule 80 bulkheads IMO. This are big, strong and built to last. Keep in mind the hole sizes are different so if you're custom building something or using an existing setup the holes need to be increased. -
Good grip. By Garnett on 3/3/2017
Garnett would recommend this product to a friendI have a tank with standard square bulkhead and I had to burn it off. With these bulkhead it's easy to grip and turn. Easily to put on or take off...they're thick and really durable. -
Good quality product. By Christopher on 9/8/2016
Christopher would recommend this product to a friendThis is a heavy duty bulkhead that makes you feel secure that if the return plumbing gets banged or torqued-on it will not crack. Some ABS bulkheads are cheaply made and can crack or otherwise fail. -

Piece of Mind By Nickolas on 2/11/2016
Nickolas would recommend this product to a friendI started ordering sch 80 bulkheads after cracking a few cheap ABS plastic ones. I will never use anything but sch 80now. These things are extremely durable. -
Works well, By STarFishMan on 4/2/2015
STarFishMan would recommend this product to a friendThese are very nice and the gasket is beefy. Great although I was hoping for the slip end on the tank side rather than threaded. Maybe I missed that. Outside of this they are really nice and the price is right. -

Beefy Bulkheads By Derek on 5/2/2014
Derek would recommend this product to a friendThe 1" bulkhead fits snug in the 48mm holes drilled from the diamond coated bits from BRS. Simple and very sturdy looking bulk heads. Thanks BRS as always! -
High Quality - Was unable to use them By Steve on 2/20/2014
Steve would recommend this product to a friendI bought a Deep Blue pre drilled 75G tank and the bulkheads that came with it were barbed and I wanted to run PVC. I ordered this and another 3/4 one thinking it would fit. I was wrong. The bulkhead itself is very thick and has a nice size gasket on it. if my tank wasn't already drilled then I would have definitely used these instead of the ABS. but as it stands I had to order the ABS ones.. which BTW were still better quality than the ones that came with the tank

Thanks,
David
The holes just have to be large enough for the spindle of the bulkhead to go through, but small enough that the flange, o-ring, and nut still have something to grab onto (i.e. bigger then dimension C but smaller than dimension A). This leaves quiet a wide area to work with but best to err on the side of a smaller hole rather then a larger one. In your case with those particular bulkheads you would use a 2" and a 1.75" bit.
Unfortunately the holes would not match up. The sch80 bulkheads require a significantly larger hole but the sch80 pipe will work just fine with the abs bulkheads.
Hope this helps!
Many thanks,
Matt Paul
Happy reefing!
Sorry but those are unavailable in the sch80 bulkheads. We do however have them in ABS bulkheads.

When measuring for bulkheads, you will need a hole in your tank that is slightly larger (1-3mm) than the "C" measurement for the corresponding bulkhead but no larger than the "A" measurement.
Example: If you have a 1.75" diameter hole currently in your tank, then you would want to use the 3/4" Sch 80 Bulkhead.
