Since I was going to be running a 1/2" hose for my water lines and using bus tubs for my grow beds, I didn't need anything larger than the 1/2". I have already added the bulkhead to the bus tubs and installed my bell siphon as you can see in the pictures. I have already tested the grow bed drain system in the bath tub and it worked flawlessly by being able to drain the tub faster than it was being filled.I can't wait for the rest of my materials I still need to get my aquaponics system up and running, but everything costs money and I'm doing this a little at a time as I have extra funds.My first impressions of these bulkheads were that they are a very durable plastic, the threads were nice and clean, and they come with a nice rubber seal. And during my test run of my build I was happy to have no leaks.Pros: well made and does what it's meant to doCons: none as of now ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked great after sorting out operator error *by on Reviewed in the United States 1 August 2020* UPDATE:Ok, so I had some issues with these bulkheads at first, as evident my my initial scathing review. The error was on my part. Normally I put the o-ring gasket inside the tank. After ordering extra gaskets to try and put a seal on both sides I started searching the internet to see if the side of the seal with the raised lines goes toward the flange or the surface to be sealed (no luck, arbitrarily decided flange side with the smooth side sealing) I read that the gasket always goes on the flange, not the nut side. Now I have inner and outer gaskets and it’s sealed. I’m not sure if it was the second gasket or having one on the flange side that fixed it, but we’re all good over here. Seals well in the bottom of a 55gal Klamata barrel being used as a hydro reservoir. Apologies for the initial review.I bought four of these to use to attach plumbing to 2 45 gallon rain barrels. They are junk. Put two fittings on the first barrel, put 30 gallons of r/o water into it and they both started dripping. One slowly and the other pretty steady. Took it apart, checked for any burs I may have missed (none), reassembled and refilled. Still leaked. Drained again and tried to get it tighter and the back nut split. Grabbed one of the fittings for the other barrel and replaced the broken one. Went hand right down then snugged with the wrench and refilled. Still leaking. This setup is indoor in my basement so leaks aren’t permitted. ## Frequently Bought Together - Lifegard Aquatics 1/2-Inch Double Threaded Bulkhead - Spears 1413 Series PVC Tube Fitting, 90 Degree Elbow, Schedule 40, Gray, 1" Barbed x NPT Male --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/84149438-lifegard-aquatics-1-2-inch-double-threaded-bulkhead](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/84149438-lifegard-aquatics-1-2-inch-double-threaded-bulkhead) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-08-21*
