RDWC Bulkhead Fitting PLACEMENT

Upperhydro2 said:

I'm trying to make a RDWC with 5 Gallon Buckets and Bulkhead Fittings. I can find placement for 1 side of the bucket but am having trouble spotting side two. If not in the right location, the fittings won't line up. I searched on this site but could not find info. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the info. I've watched a lot of Gary's videos but they don't answer my questions.

So you're talking a round bucket? Trying to make a hole exactly on the opposite side?

I understand the question now
Draw a straight line across the bottom of the bucket and measure it. Now take that measurement and find the center and draw a new line perpendicular to it. This is the center of the bottom of the bucket. Now just bring the line up at a 90 degree angle on either side of the bucket to mark the centers for your bulkhead fittings at whatever height you want
