JL sells it too.
I think its cheapest at Rona though, but this stuff isn't that pricey to begin with.

Thanks guys. So how would I attach this stuff to the bottom of a bulkhead though? Is there a fitting I use? Or is that not possible?

find a threaded (or slip bulkhead) and then get another barbed piece. Might add in total length to the bottom of your bulkhead, but that's the best way. Be sure to use hose clamps

Ahh yes, ok, I think I know what you mean. Actually I think J&L sells the bulkhead with that barbed part. I just have never used it.

I see alot of people skip the hose clamps, but I just don't feel safe not using them. I use vinyl on all the connections from my pump. It keeps the vibrations down.
