Some LFS stores will have them as well as some of the RC sponsors like Marine Depot, Foster, Premium Aquatics and the like.
Savko plastics is also a good place to look for schedule 40 and 80 bulkheads Savko

Schedule 40 are the standard bulkheads you can get everywhere and are pretty much what most tank makers drill the holes for.
The schedule 80 are a heavier duty bulkhead and require a larger hole. If you have a Oceanic, or AGA/Aqueon tank that is already drilled the schedule 80`s will not fit in the holes as they are larger in diameter even though they use the same size pipe

First of all we musen't end questions
with prepositions. You can find them at West Marine boating supply stores. West Marine lists them as a through-hull fitting. |

It's so tempting to mention all the vulgar non prepositions (specifically nouns) you can end a sentence with right now. The only thing restraining me is the plague that is txt msg syntax.
