Hi Bill - I don't know if I'm missing something here, but the bulkheads I
use are threaded all the way through - can't you use a male connection on
the "pond" side so the nut and rest of bulkhead is "outside" the pond?
Just a thought - Gale :~)
I ran into a snag plumbing the skimmer, I didn't have the piece to join
the bulkead to the elbow. I'm not really crazy about having the bulhead
protruding into the pond (nut in pond), but I don't see much choice based
on the fittings available. I want to be able to unscrew the skimmer in
winter, so I don't want to go the pipe boot route.
