<p>Thank you David, Paul. I am going with bulkhead for siphons on the grow beds and uniseals for the rest. Adding the valve to the PVC pipe should be easy. Thanks again for your inputs. Anthony.</p>

I too use Uniseals (also available online at pentairaes.com) in certain applications, but I use bulkhead fittings (aka tank fittings) in other situations. Up to 1" diameter, for supply (not drain) lines, you can get such fittings at local hydroponics stores. I think they have another name for them. Above 1", you can sometimes find them at irrigation supply stores (Horizon on Broadway in downtown Sac, Irrigation Supply Co in Woodland, etc.) but not consistently and not in a wide range of sizes.…

I prefer bulkhead fittings to Uniseals for autosiphons because you can pull the standpipe entirely out of the fitting to drain the growbbed if you like, or to change standpipe length.

<p>Are you asking about the valves, or the seal in the tank where the pvc goes through?</p>
<p>If it is the seals, use UNISEAL, available on AMAZON. Just Google it.They work very well. Dont drill your holes until you get the seals. For better water flow, I suggest you get a size larger than you were originally thinking. I first used 1 1/2 inch but then went up to 2".</p>
