I have 2 205L plastic barrels, I was wondering if there was a way to put a bulkhead valve in with out having to cut extra holes in the barrel. I only want to drill a hole for the valve.

I found a bulkhead fitting that would fit through the barrel bung on mine. There is a string trick to thread it into place; but I just kinda shook the barrel a bit and it fell into place.

Do you have anymore info, like brand, make, or design? Sounds like this could be what I am looking for.

Unfortunately the only place I was able to find them was Amazon.

That's alright. I now have a starting point.
