Hi Monroe,

Can we cut a hole into this container so that we can use a bulk head fitting to get a water tight pipeline from the sink to our float valve?

Is there a reason why the pipeline can't enter through the top of the container? You will have more flexibility if you have it entering through the top.

It was to give it more stability entering the tank. Based on how it would look coming in through the top, the system of rigid piping wouldn't be very stable, but we can have the pipeline enter through the top if we don't want to drill a hole in the side of the container.
