plumbing question

Maybe I am making this harder than it is. I am trying to drain my ebb and flow table and I am trying to figure out how to run the plumbing through the table itself. I really wanted a bulkhead type fitting but I am not finding what I want, at least locally?

Any ideas on this?

I have seen these, but I dont want a barbed bulkhead. Then I have to attach a hose and connect it to the PVC pipe I am running as the rez is 20 feet away. just more of a mess but that may the only option I have.

I was hoping to get something w/o barbs and that would plumb right to my 1" PVC pipe

Thanks Pico

I just found a bulkhead in my personal collection with 1" pvc on both sides. I bought it at my local hydro store. You can actually make one of these with a trip to your hardware store. Electrical condiut fittings.

then you just need some sort of rubber gasket that fits over the threads to provide a good seal.

A quick search of the internet and I came up with this http://www.truetex.com/bulkhead.htm a DIY on building basically this exact thing.
