bulkheads from different manufacturers could need different hole sizes, so you might want to double check with your manufacturer what they suggest as the correct hole size for that bulkhead.

Geoff is correct, the original 1" bulkheads i had in my sump are 1 5/8" hole diameter, the one that picked up the other day, won't quite fit in there and need a little larger.
Suggest you pick up the bulkhead prior to getting tank drilled for them.
Going thru the same thing now myself.
