Rubbermaid glue report: Forget Gorilla Glue
"Gareee©" wrote in message ... "G Pearce" wrote in message ... Hi Gary - Hal is right - Bulkhead fittings are the answer, for any thickness of plastic or rubber, just make sure you tighten it - I use it on 45 gal plastic barrels for bio-filters - no leaks - they come from 3/8" up to 2" and maybe larger - go to a farm supply store that has supplies for sprayers for fields - up here in Canada a 2" fitting is about $15 Can - smaller ones are less - I would never use pvc fittings and any kind of glue - Bulkheads around here are used on up to 5000 gal (and maybe larger) tanks with no problem - my filter has been running for 12 yrs - no leaks Ok, so bulkhead fittings are metal? I have a farm supply store here, (fortunately).. are they also available at Lowe's? I did something similar with the toilet flanges.. I attached them from the inside, and used the regualr wax seals for them. I added long bolts, and used LARGE washers on each side, tighten down,. with silicon between them and the rubbermaid to add just a little more seal to them. Those look to be working great. I'll see if I can find the bulkhead fittings tomorrow if possible. If they are heavy, might that be an issue for the plastic to support?
