Colored PVC @ Neptune

[vhuang168]

Just saw today that they have colored PVC in red n orange. 3/4", 1" and 1.25".

They will have blue soon too and I think furniture grade fittings too for that finished look!

Nice! Wish I would've known earlier--just ordered a few pieces from Amazon for replumbing.

Guessing the difference is that it comes in other colors

Also think furniture grade is free of imperfections like the stuff you get at home depot.

Quoting from pvcfittingsonline: Aesthetically, furniture grade PVC is shinier and is free from writing or bar codes. This gives a more polished look than standard PVC which often has markings or imperfections. Furniture grade PVC pipe and fittings also are treated to be UV resistant. This means they won’t get brittle or discolored from prolonged sun exposure.

The furniture grade fittings also don't have that mold line that runs along the fitting. Smooth all the way around.

Thanks for letting us know that they have it in stock. It makes sense for them to carry it as I'm sure they're using it for some of their builds. I wonder if they'll have black. My next build will probably have black pipe to match my sump.

And pressure rating is irrelevant since our reef systems are low pressure.
