Does anyone know where I can find these in town? I've looked and had no luck. I ordered some online and they sent me MPT instead of slip. :mad:

I have rock/sand/water coming tomorrow and need this asap.

If I can't find these, anyone know where I can source a couple of FPT 3/4" bulkheads that fit a 1.5" hole.

They should have a adaptor to turn it into slip if you take that elbow and show it to them.

Yeah, HD should have them. If not, they will have the barb with a threaded end, then just put a thread/slip connector on them.

I've checked HD and Lowes. I can probably find the adapters to make it work, but I hoping for the 90's to help clearance against the wall.

Okay. link works now. Like Bill said, you might have to make one out of two seperate pieces.

Dude,

Can't say for sure that I have those, but I do have a box full of different pvc connectors and elbows. You're welcome to them.

I really do appreciate that, but.....

That bites! I have a 100 gallon and a 55 gallon that I'm holding in the garage for my niece. Although I think that is a great deal larger than what you are actually looking for.

If you decide to start again the offer still stands for the pvc fittings.

On the somewhat positive side, I've never bought a new tank. Every one of my two tanks have been pre-owned. All of them!

I am picking up a new tank, just waiting a couple of weeks to let every settle before I get back into it. If I decide to drill the returns, I'll definitely let you know.
