Anhone install a bulkhead connector in their bulkhead? (I translated the question)

Yes, I have... Now there are two ways

First, Measure thickness of wall, then buy a bulkhead connector (Double SO-239 feed through) long enough to make the trip.

Or

Cut a "Vent" like a stove vent into the wall, NOTE> most stove vents are not quite 'Deep" enough so...

Glue the flapper shut, then in teh BOTTOM HALF drill holes for your bulkhead connectors and apply them and nuts, on the outside put right angle adapters. .

Works rather well (now I did it only I drilled too high )
