    I'm looking for a couple of 1/2" slip x 1/2" slip bulkheads and would prefer to avoid waiting for an online shipment. Does anyone know if an LFS or any local hardware/plumbing stores carries bulkheads? I think I saw bulkheads at Coralville Bay a while back but I'm not sure if they had any that small.


    Thanks!

    Coralville Bay has some. Not a ton, but some.

    Pet's Playhouse has them for a very reasonable price. I'm not sure what they have for selection though (threaded/slip/various sizes, etc.).

    Wow never seen bulkheads at Manards. I am pretty sure last time I was looking for them ours in Iowa City didn't have them. It would be great if they carried them.

    I bought some about 6 months ago from the CR South location. They have a ton online also.

    I dont think Coralville Bay has the slip, just threaded.. I have a few but they are all threaded out/in.

    I'm surprised that Menards would have them, I'll have to check them out sometime. Coralville bay didn't have any smaller than 3/4" but thankfully Sea of Marvels had both threaded and slip 1/2" bulkheads.

    Thanks for all of the suggestions!

    The Menards in cedar falls and in Waterloo both have them in stock, but they aren't shaped like typical aquarium bulkheads.
