    If you have been following my built thread then you know I am relocating my pumps. I have 3 bulkheads that I placed a week ago in my overflow. I need to turn them about 180 deg. since the pipe in them is cemented. Is it okay if I just loosen the nut and turn the bulkhead?

    I don't see this as a problem but thought I would ask.


    Thanks,

    Will

    I guess I should have said that there is no water in the tank

    Bump. Maybe it is not as easy of a question as I thought.

    Shouldn't be a problem. Just water-test the process when you're done. Don't overtighten. :)

    I second that...you should be fine doing that as long as you test for leaks like reefsparky said!
