Would you use these?

So on a FB page people claim to use these as bulk heads with flat rubber washers or silicone. Cheaper than buying a bulk head from the LFS.
What do you think would you use these or not?

Not sure about this but I get my bulkheads for $4 dollars from amazon instead of paying crazy amount at LFS

Theres places to save money and places not to save money. so...

btw, do you need a bulkhead or two? i might have a couple laying around if i look

I have 3 or 4 1" bulkheads (threaded) if you need em, think one or two has the overflow cage piece as well. If not, if anyone else needs them, let me know.

 

[MadReefer]

I don't what size bulk head I need for the upgrade. Just never even thought of using anything else.

I will agree that this is not a part of a tank where trying to be creative with the cheapest you idea you can think of is not worth the risk. Even a $10 bulkhead is probably one of the cheapest and most important things in a system relative to overall costs of any tank anyways.
