xmas_one Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Ha, I was thinking protein skimmer. Check with Ferguson, they might have some cut offs. Or, your local PW might help you out if they have some scrap in their yard. I’ll keep an eye out at work too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mesamech Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) I think I saw a piece of 6" in the trash at our shop, I'll look tomorrow. A 12x6 is a special order kind of fitting. Edited April 28, 2019 by Mesamech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdxmonkeyboy Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 special order = super expensive. Oooh, here is one its only $130. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Charlotte-Pipe-6-in-x-12-in-DWV-PVC-Pipe-Increaser-Reducer-PVC-00102-2300/203936714 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesamech Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) I was thinking C900 not rain leader. Actually $138 is pretty reasonable compared to fitting I was thinking of. 😃 Edited April 30, 2019 by Mesamech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parzifal Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share Posted April 30, 2019 Lol. YEah... I noticed as you go up in diameter the prices increase exponentially. Looking at at the prices it looks like I’ll be able to build this 12” diameter by 5’ tall slimmer for a little under $1000 including the pump. But if there’s any chance for less expensively I’m always down for that! mesamech what do you do for a living? thanks all for helping with this!

DaMonsterMonster Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Another place to check is if there is an HD Fowler near you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mesamech Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I got a 10"x foot long piece of scrap. Its PVC leader pipe (sewer). I don't know what happened to the 6". I'll keep an eye out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parzifal Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 Awesome! Thanks, I hear sewer piping may have antimicrobials that can leach into the water. Anyone have solid evidence for that or that one way or another? thanks, aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parzifal Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share Posted May 1, 2019 oooh. If Fowler has large diameter in stock. That’s awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorW Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I don't know where you're located but there's a company in Cornelius called HP Pipe And Supply that has their yard full of this kind of stuff!! I don't know if they sell it but it couldn't hurt to ask right? I would bet they have everything you're looking for. They could very well have scraps. I drive by it all the time, it's near my work. I don't know anything about this stuff but they most definitely have large and very large diameter PVC.

Mesamech Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) I've never heard of antimicrobial on pvc or cpvc piping before; steel piping yes, plastic piping no. Would you like this piece of pipe? Our shop is in Vancouver or I'm going to the cinco de mayo get together at CNC. Edited May 1, 2019 by Mesamech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
