Excellent description!.FYI, I am insulating a Weber Smoky Mountain smoker with ceramic insulation, including the dome shaped lid.In so doing I have to provide a vent thru the lid and I am thinking a bulkhead fitting would do the job. Thanks for dedicating your video to the correct terminology!

What a perfect video. Wow. I just got a water tank and the bulkhead fitting was stumping me! I was worried about finding reverse thread pvc fitting and mangle on a bunch of reducers. Thanks times infinity!

Do you need to glue the pvc pipe to the bulkhead if it's a slip?

How tight should you make the bulkhead fitting when you’re screwing it on? Should it only be hand tight?

I use a pair of slip joint pliers to just give it a little bit more than hand tight. Not too much because it's plastic after all, but I like to compress the rubber washer a little bit, have it bulge a little when you look at it. Hope this helps.

Do you have to glue it ?

Depends entirely on your application. If you applicationr has a disaster waiting to happend if there's a leak, fish die, plants die, basement floods... the yes glue it. These in the video are abs, so make sure to use the proper cement for what you're glueing. In my application I don't glue them because they are responsible for drainage and do not carry any pressure. And, not to be ignored, I change my mind a lot on the layout of my systems, so not glueing them allows me to re-use them. Make sense?

Why can't you use the outside thread? Any design obstruction?

I spent time at the plumbing store trying to find anything that would fit the threads. I didn't find anything... The threads are built to be as strong as they can be for the material to make sure the nut that squeezes the rubber washer is tight and the junction is watertight. If you want to use the threads, don't use a slip fitting, use a threaded fitting, that way the threads will be standard and you'll be able to use it properly.
