    Hi,
    I'm trying to setup an eshopps overflow. I'm leaking from the bulkhead. It's probably because I have the bulkhead gasket on the outside of the overflow box. Should it be inside?
    Thanks

    Yes and make sure not to make it to tight as it will distort the gasket.

    Yep, it goes on the inside. The "don't tighten too much" advice is good too. The acrylic could also crack if you do.
