downhill_biker Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I am doing my plumbing and have all of the 1" PVC run down to the floor. Going through the vent is kindof tricky with a lot of bends and I was thinking of using that 1" flex vacuum hose stuff. Where do I get this and what is it really called? After the 1" I will connect with a "T" to a 1 1/2" line and go to the sump. Can I use this flex on the return? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoseCityAquarium Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I use the black spa flex. It glues up nicely to pvc. my supplier is alot cheaper then home depot. Any hot tub shop or hardware store usually carries it, but some mark their prices up more then others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanareef Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I would avoid that "vaccum hose" as it has those "bumps" and trap junk, harder to clean, flex PVC as RCA suggested is the way to go. Savko or this Flex-PVC of course then there's shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krux Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 As Charles said, Savko is the place to go. Ive seen it at HD before, but you can also get all your fittings that you may still need for a great price to save on shipping. Done about a dozen tank plumbing jobs with them, great vendor. This is what you want http://www.savko.com/partlist.asp?pgid=4&ptid=19&pid=36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_biker Posted June 21, 2009 Author Share Posted June 21, 2009 Thanks everyone. I ended up buying spa-flex and all the fittings I need. 1" down to the floor, spa flex through the floor, and 1 1/2" pvc the rest of the way in the basement.

wanareef Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Good choice - spa flex is the only way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
