Anyone know of good places to get bulkheads? I'm looking for a two inch bulkhead, but it must fit in a three inch hole. I found one the other day, but forgot to bookmark it. Or better yet, if you have one laying around.

I've got a couple of new 2" bulkheads but I assume you're looking for a non-standard one.

If the standard one needs a 3 1/4 hole then yes, I'm looking for the non standard one.

I bought mine from Marine Depot and it's not heavy duty. I wonder if it is what you are looking for? LMK if you still need it and I'll dig it up.

Lay off the coffee! :)

It's for a drain line so it does not need to be heavy duty, just the correct size.

Just found it and it will fit in a 3 inch hole. Black and it's a slip x slip. Trade or cash is good. PM me if you want it.

I looked at my overflow tube and it's all threaded. Sorry, looking for a threaded/slip.

Note that any bulkhead that fits a 3" hole will be light duty, it means that no heavy loads or pipes can be set on them so you will need to fully support your piping and be gentle when tightening it up as the nut may crack. Also if is threaded (I think the one above is) do not use too much teflon tape (Just a couple of layers and add Teflon (TFE) paste to the internal thread for sealing without overtightening as it may also crack the bulkhead.

That's the place I lost the bookmark to, thanks Gabriel.
