Bulkhead fitting for heater lines

Post by mnwinger »

When installing a cabin heater, what do you use for a bulkhead fitting to pass the heater lines through the firewall?

I'm using a pair of T7 Design 16mm bulkhead hose adapters like these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Bulkhead-Hose- ... 1955250663. They're available from several sources.

Thanks for the responses SheepdogRD! Your lead on the bulkhead adapter looked promising. Unfortunately I need a 1" union adapter for my Yamaha Apex configuration. No luck finding that size so far. Might have to custom build one.
