Default BulkHead Fittings

Aquatic Ecosystems at http://www.aquaticeco.com has them, from "economy" to
"expensive". They also have something called Uniseals that are ideal for
installation in tanks, drums, etc. They're much cheaper, but they won't work
on items that have thickness, like going through a plywood tank. A 3/4"
Uniseal is only $2 A "brownie point" for the Uniseal is that you slide
your pvc through it, and it isn't glued. Therefore, you can push several
extra inches through it and adjust afterwards, just in case you find out
that you really needed a distance of 7" instead of the 6.25" you cut and
glued . . .

Where can I get bulkhead fittings 1", 3/4", 1/2" without having to pay a
fortune. (mail order)
These are fittings with a nut on both sides so you can attach it to the
bottom of a vessel or container,
eg: used to make a biological filter out of a plastic barrel, so you can
attach a hose to a vessel etc...
My local hardware wants 28$ for a 3/4" fitting.
