Any one board and want to come over.

[Im Lon 2]

Need help plumging.. Not sure if what I'm doing is good or not.

 

[capncapo]

I might be able to come by tomorrow Lonnie.

 

[Im Lon 2]

Here is what I got so far.

Here is the Cold air retun on the floor where I'm sending the Pipes through the floor.

coming out of the bulkheads

In the basement goes from 2 - 2" to a 3"

 

[Im Lon 2]

Also Notd the Flex pipes going into the 3" is not glued and not forced into the pipe very far.

 

[capncapo]

Looks fine so far. What are you unsure about?

If you're not planning on glueing the flex to the 3" then at least wrap it with Teflon tape for a snug fit.

 

[Im Lon 2]

I plan on gluing it once I have everything In place. Right now it so hard to get in the pipe I was afraid I would have it stuck.

I really don't like how it comes out of the floor Would really like to put a 90° on each pipe so it comes across the floor in stead of shooting up in the air. Does that make since if so do you think it would work?

I was also thinking of up sizing the pipe once I bring it level with the sump to a 4" Pipe with a air vent in it so at least some air can escape VS shoving the Air in the sump causing a Big GULP and SPLASH

 

[capncapo]

When you put primer and glue on the flex it should slide in easier.

I don't see a problem with putting a 90 on there to make it run across the floor. The worst that could happen would be that it reduces your flow slightly.

Going to a 4" could be a good thing to try. It could certainly cause no harm.

the only thing I see that I would change is to move the 3 inch pipe below the elect. outlets.

good point!

Don't the bulkheads create a seal AROUND the vent? If so, wouldn't the saltwater corrode the parts that are exposed inside the bulkhead?

I could always come over and help you get purple all over the place! :lol: Good thing my plumbing isn't for show!

The flex runs through a hole in the return. There are no bulkheads attached to it.

Yeah Very good Point and dumb planning on my part. If I move the 3" pipe below the Switch and plug I then Have the 2 - 2" pipes in front of the plug, and switch. Guess I should have did the plumbing first

Okay I get it... The Bulkheads you see are attached to my tank not the vent.. I was just showing all the pic's of plumbing I have done so far.

 

[vishboy]

Oh, okay. I saw the picture below the caption "coming out of the bulkheads" and guessed that you ran it through the duct, drilled through and put a bulkhead to seal the duct.

 

[frenchie]

don't know much about plumbing but you got my number if you need anything, also when you make your switch from other tank i got a weeks vacation that i'm taking november 4th thru 11th so if you need help give me a call i'll bring the pizza.

I am good at purple to.

 

[Chelsey]

I'm having a purple party this weekend too :bounce1:

 

[Im Lon 2]

Oaky Feel better now.

Updated shot. Nothing Glued.

2 2" go into the 3" when the 3" drops level with the sump it turns to a 4" .

 

[capncapo]

I think that'll work Lonnie!:thumbsup:
