Check this site and see if this may work. They also have a phone number you can possibly call and check.

I purchased some 2in screens awhile back I think from Custom Aquatics, but they are threaded, not slip.

Why wouldn't it work? Not sure what you are wanting to do it it, but they are male threaded fittings. If you are putting it straight on a bulkhead, most bulkheads are threaded on the inside so it will work fine. If you are attaching it to a pvc pipe, you just need a slip to female thread connector. On my old 75g tank, I had bulkheads on the backside of the tank towards the top and used a PVC elbow that female threads on one end to point up towards the surface and the screen fit it as well. As far as finding a slip fitting, with the larger the size PVC there tends to be fewer options on types of ends (slip, male, female).

The bulkhead that I have it slip on the inside that is why I was asking if it would work. No threads on the bulkhead(inside) I thought it might not stay on.
