drilling my tank for 2" drains

These will be the drains for my 150. Which bulkheads do i need? I think i need either the Standard Threaded Bulkhead Fitting or the Double Threaded Bulkhead Fitting. If someone can let me know whats best to use that would be great. Thanks for helping me not mess this up

For best possible drainage, use slip x slip. Has wider opening than the threaded. However, if you plan on using SCH 40 (+) pipes, there isn’t much difference.

Almost forgot. Maine Depot has great stuff but Savko has the widest opening on the bulkheads. savko.com
