Installation Hole Size - Use Diamond Coated Glass Drill Bit for DIY installation
Knowing the exact size bulkhead that you will need can be a little tricky since the diameter of the hole in your tank does not exactly correspond to your plumbing size (i.e., 2.25” diameter hole does not equate to 2.25” PVC plumbing).
