metric bulkhead fittings

Anyone know if there are metric threaded couplings available to thread to the outside of bulkhead fittings?

Here is what I'm looking for- I'm trying to see if there are any fittings out there to screw on to the outside threads. This will open up area that would normally be taken up by pipe on the inside. Opening up area would allow more flow without drilling larger holes for bigger fittings, important if the tank is full.

It may be easier just to replace the bulkheads.

I've tried screwing all kinds of cuplings into my 1" bulkheads and nothing seems to fit. Up here in Canada we have mostly Metric fittings and I still found nothing that fits -- Good Luck.
