Plumbing problems.

How do I go from a 1 1/4 male-threaded bulkhead to 1" pipe size?

Also, where on earth can I find plumbing parts for an auto top off float? It looks like 1/4 inch tubing of some sort. I want to gravity feed it so I need a 1/4" bulkhead of some sort to put on a container of some sort, right?

Plumbing for your float switch.

Bulkhead 1/4"

Take a bulkhead to Lowes/Home depot and figure it out maybe? Couplings and other random pieces.. Good Luck.

 

I looked through the HD section but didn't see a bulkhead, maybe I'll check again. Bulk Reef (thanks!) has one if I can't find one locally. I think I have enough tubing, I just need a couple 90s.

 

Alright keep me posted. But what are you needing exactly for your 1 1/4" bulkhead again?

 

You are going to have to look at the grey plumbing parts or schedule 80. I think that's what it's called.

 

I think I figured it out (if I can find the parts). I need to go from a 1 1'4 inch pipe (bulkhead) to a 1" pipe (bulkhead on sump). I was told to get a 1 1/4" female threaded to 1 1/4 slip adapter. Then I need to get a 1 1/4" slip to 1" slip fitting.

I am not sure if either of those exist, however.

 

Check your other thread, I updated what you'll need. They exist because I have them, and got them at HD.

Pic if you don't believe me, I just have a male threaded and not a female threaded like you need.

Is this it? There isn't a nut that screws onto the otherside to tighten it up like on a tank?
