So, it looks like the bulkheads I have to work with are 2X 3/4"and 1X 1". The third hole is 1 and 13/16th (ish) The bulkhead that fits in there has an inside diameter of 1 and 5/16th THIS BULKHEAD FITS THE 1 INCH PVC (maybe it's a 16th smaller than 1 inch now that I look close) so naturally I continued to think that they were 1 inch bulkheads. The bulkheads that fit in these two holes have an inside diameter of 1 inch. It now looks as if I have 2 X 3/4 inch ( both of which I thought were drilled to fit 1 inch bulkheads. ![]() It seems that what I have been thinking is a 1 inch bulkhead is actually a 3/4 inch bulkhead meaning it looks like it will only accommodate a 3/4 inch pipe. The fittings themselves (elbows, couplers, etc.) are all a fraction larger to accommodate the insertion of 1" diam pipe. it seems that 1 inch (inside diameter) pipe does not fit into my "1 inch bulkhead", in the diagram the 90 elbow is marked 1 inch on the side that is saposed to fit into a 1 inch bulkhead and there is a 1 inch short piece of pipe that goes to the sanitary T after the 1 to 1.5 enlarger. This leads me to believe that I need a smaller diameter like 3/4 PVC pipe to join them. The pipe at Lowes that was stamped 1 inch has 1 inch inside diameter but the outside diameter is larger then the bulkhead hole. If you cut a 2" long piece of 1" pipe, it'll slip into the 1" bulkhead nicely, and leave enough spare pipe on t'other end to attach your fitting, yet make the joint appear "seamless". The pipe itself (not the fittings) is 1". Nope, I get that there needs to pipe to join them. ![]() Are you trying to direct connect fittings directly into the bulkhead? If so, that ain't gonna work.
