[Claimed] Brute with bulkhead holes + 5 gallon reservoir

[richiev]

Brute. One drain at the bottom. Two holes in the side for floats. One approximately half way up, one near the top. I used that to let me choose if I wanted to do a full fill or a half fill.

I have removed the bulkheads & floats because I was going to do something else with them, but no longer am going to do that. If you need bulkheads & floats, let's chat (trade for frags or a small amount of cash).

Brute is free otherwise. Comes with lid.

Redwood City.

Going to post to FB later today as well unless there's a taker here

Bulkhead works on the curved can? I’ve seen people use in uniseals on them before but not sure I’ve seen bulkheads on them before

I can't say that brand, but it's not a uniseal. I've had zero leaks from it.

Cool thanks. Interesting looking bulkhead

Adding another item. This 5 gallon camping water holder. I was using it as a RODI container, but I've upgraded to a 20 gallon aquarium I finally drilled.

Note it has a hole drilled in one of the covers where I had a float valve installed. The drain is also slightly finicky in that depending on how it's opened water comes out of the knob area.

All picked up.

FYI this Brute/bulkhead is exactly what I built and it works great. I even have that same exact bulkhead I think, just in 1".

If the plastic is flimsy enough a bulkhead will work just fine. Now if this was a roto-mold container there would be issues.

I looked it up. I'm pretty sure this was a home depot bulk head, and the results I'm currently seeing from there are oriented around rain water barrels.

In my experience it works totally fine, just make sure to get it tight and you might as well use a wrench to get it super tight. Don't do finger tight like you would with a normal bulkhead. You're not going to crack the garbage can, and if you tighten a bit more you likely make it flat in that section of plastic.
