I bought my bulkhead fittings at a pool store, they are the kind used on
Jacuzzis and pools. What you have sounds like an outdoor electrical
bulkhead fitting which is just to prevent water from getting in and not so
much in a submerged situation.

The kind of bulkhead I got only has a 1/4" rubber gasket on the water
side and a nut on the other side. I don't have a washer on the nut
side. I didn't know if all 4" bulkheads are in this fashion.

thats the kind I got on the bareels rounded surface i had to use a
sealer on both sides including the gasket to get a solid seal.
I used RTV Rubber but a good clear silicon works too ( not tub and tile
tho )
