Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need an end cap for my Centipede Module system?
A: Yes! The end cap is essential for closing off the end of your Centipede Module filtration system and creating a watertight seal. Without it, water would flow out the open end. The end cap also provides the connection point for bringing plumbing into your system, making it a critical component of any Centipede installation.
Q: What's the difference between top-entry and side-entry, and which should I use?
A: Top-entry means your plumbing pipe enters through the top of the end cap, while side-entry means it enters from the side. Choose based on your installation layout and space constraints. Top-entry is common when the Centipede is installed horizontally and you're bringing pipes down from above. Side-entry works well when you need to keep plumbing low or are connecting to pumps positioned to the side. The clearly marked drill points let you customize the opening for either configuration.
Q: What size hole should I drill, and do I need any special tools?
A: The hole size depends on the diameter of your plumbing and the size of the Aquascape Rubber Bulkhead you're using. Common sizes are 1.5", 2", or 3" bulkheads. You'll need a hole saw (available at hardware stores) that matches your bulkhead size. The end cap has clearly marked drill points to guide your placement. Always drill slightly smaller than you think you need—you can always make it bigger, but you can't make it smaller! Refer to your bulkhead's specifications for the exact hole size required.
