Do Not Listen To Me!!!
Does anyone use threaded Bulkheads so they don't have to glue them?
I was tempted to switch to them because I am tired of having to cut the pipe every time I have to take out the return to do something and then having to buy one.
My intake is not glued at the bulkheads at all but it is a slip thread. After the bulkhead is about 8 inches of pipe and then a 90 elbow. It wasn't glued but it had to be because it did have a small collection of water build up aka leak.
So Only my return Bulkhead is glue and I wish it wasn't.
My return is glued on the top and bottom of the bulkhead. It also has about 6 inches of pipe on the bottom before the 90 elbow. But it like the return goes right from the elbow to a Union. The return then has after the Union a small pipe like 3 inches long with a thread end with a nozzle threaded into it so I could attach black hose that plugs into my ball valve which in turn has a hose on the other side going to the water pump.
So coming from the pump it is Hose/Ball Valve/Hose/Pipe/Union/Elbow/Pipe//Bulkhead//Pipe/Elbow/Return Nozzle. Just thought I would explain the whole line in case someone asked.
