Need to plug a bulkhead w 3/4" threaded cap..why can't I find one??

[Annap729]

None at home depot or Any of the local plumbing supply places...suggestions?

use a 3/4" male threaded slip adapter with a short piece of pipe and a cap.

[Guest thefishman65]

I was going to say something similar. You may need to go up or down a pipe depending on what they have.

 

3/4 male thread to inch pipe

1 inch pipe

cap?

reducer 1 inch to 1.25 (do they make one)

cap?

reducer 1.25 to 1.5

cap?

reducer 1.5 inch to 2 inch

2 inch pipe

cap?

reducer 2 inch to 4 inch

cap?

 

If you do this right it could stick out way past your tank

lowes many i'll TRY to buy you one tonight

Home Depot sucks for plumbing fittings, Lowes is much better for small size pipes. For larger size pipe fittings Ferguson is the place to go.

[Jon Lazar]

Can't you use a threaded plug instead of a threaded cap?

[Guest thefishman65]

I think a threaded plug would be female where as the cap would be male. But rereading the title he may have stated the wrong one.

i find all mine at Lowes. HomeDepot is 2 minutes from my house and there's like one every 10 minutes... but I travel 30 minutes to go to Lowes for plumbing parts... much better.

Found them there; now the threads on the backside of the 3/4" bulkheads won't come off easily so I need to buy two new ones. Lowes wouldn't have them right? House of tropicals is closest but lowes is closer

[Annap729]

Meant to say it's close, but lowes is closer

[Annap729]

And yes they had plugs; anyway now I'm stuck on the 3/4" returns; has anyone drilled durso standpipes for an aga 125? Wondering how big the holes should be-instructions say to start at 1/16, but im hoping someone can fasttrack me through the experimenting stage to silence .

Heading to house of tropicals now for those bulkheads. Thanks again!

For the hole in the durso cap, start out small and slowly make it bigger by reaming out the hole. Be careful doing this with a 1/16 bit, it will snap easily.
