Need help finding a bulkhead

[ricksreef]

Anyone know where I can find a replacement bulkhead like this one that is used for the drain on a closed loop? I have looked around, but can't find anything like this one. The dimensions are 6" long 2" wide threaded rear, 2 3/4" drain head. If this came apart at one time I think it is glued now. I would like a NFT threaded and not a slip as well. Don't know if you can tell from the pictures but I dremeled the glued PVC that was in this. I just don't trust it enough to use it at this point. If this failed about 125 gallons would spill out! Any help would be appreciated.

I think I might have a couple from an old overflow I'll have to check tomorrow morning.

Thanks a ton. I took the plunge and put some vice grips on it. It is a standard 2" slip rear, threaded front bulkhead. That drain was just screwed into it. I would however like to know where I could find a few drains like this too. This is right in the middle of the back of the tank. This is the inlet for the closed loop system. I wasn't sure if that would be considered a drain or inlet.
