Default Building Canister Filter - Bulkhead fitting Help

Hi everyone. I'm building a BIY canister filter. I plan on using bulkhead fitting like these:

(The forum won't let me post a link, but I'm looking at ebay item 320680956255)

I ordered some of these thinking that the interior diameter was 1/2 inch. But they weren't. The item says 1/2 meaning it wil fit 1/2 PVC fittings.

I want a bulkhead fitting with 1/2 INTERIOR diameter, because I plan on using 1/2 interior diameter tubing. I can;t seem to find anything on the net like this. If anybody could offer some help it would be appreciated.

Check on some marine boating supply shops or on line. I needed a off size bulkhead a few years back and I found it at a boat shop.
