considering that bulkheads help keep the water off the floor, "cheap" could have a way of being expensive

JL has the typical round ones at decent prices.

Corix Water Works has the industrial ones, but they're hexagonal in shape, so I find them not as aesthetically pleasing -- but they are cheaper. I used them for my DIY overflow box a long time ago. Does the job.

+1, was going to say the same thing, but didn't want to start a riot. But I agree, buy quality!

Thanks! I will check them out! How much was the one you got at Corix?

Definetly looking to buy quality for sure. Wouldn't want water all over my floor. But was just wondering if anyone might have some used good quality bulkheads or know a place that sell cheaper good quality bulkheads if that makes sense. lol. I've just heard from some people that they got some good quality ones at a decent price from somewhere. didn't catch the name of the place though. the only ones i can find are close to 10 bucks each! I've also had several ppl tell me that home depot sells them but when i go i simply can't find them! Can anyone confirm that they do sell them there or not? The guys there don't even know what a bulkhead fitting is so they're not much help. :sad:
