I've made a few using the grey pvc fittings in the electrical section at home depot. I use slipx male and slip by female couplings and an appropriate o-ring. the electrical pvc does not have a taper like plumbing pvc does and will thread all the way together by hand. i use that method when i want a larger bulkhead than will fit using lfs style.

oh wanted to add that you might want to get some bushings as a 1" male will probably fit througha standard aquariums 3/4" bulkhead hole.

Thanks for all your help guys.... Here is where my advanced planning payed off....I have two return pumps running to 4 returns all plumbed together with valves on them.. i turned off one pump and re-routed water using the tee's i installed them simply re-installed cut bulkhead and pulled lockline return out of water.. disaster averted until i can get to store tomorrow.. thanks again for all your help
