1 1/4 inch bulkhead

[cdnkpr72]

Not sure where to put this but since I am doing my own plumbing, why not DIY.

History. I picked up a used aquarium and the back has a 2 inch hole drilled in it. the person I acquired it from had a 1 inch bulkhead in it. To me seemed a bit small. 1.5 inch bulkhead doesn't go through the 2 inch hole so figured out I need a 1 1/4 inch bulkhead. Problem, I can't find one at any of the local pet stores in Edmonton and plumbing stores have heavy duty bulkheads that the 1 inch bulkhead is over 2 inches diameter at the threads. Also checked out hydroponic stores and they don't carry them.

Anyone know a LFS in their area that sells 1 1/4 inch bulkheads. If so if you could let me know so I can give em a phone call and see if they can ship it out because the only place I can find online with one is BRS and the part is 6 bucks, duties and shipping 18 and then convert to Canadian Dollars and I'ma going to have to get a second job for a bulkhead.

thanks in advance.

Might be worth drilling the hole to a larger size (1.5”). You should be able to acquire these much easier as they are more common.
