DIY Durso Standpipe

[friendtothefish]

I was just about to order myself a durso standpipe untill I noticed that the shipping was half as much as the product. I know it has nothing to do with Rich, but I Just cant justify that.

So I want to build my own. Has anyone done this? Can you do it with parts from Home depot?

Thanks,
Friend

2 90 degree elbows
1 cap for 1 of the openings in the 4-way

I'm pretty sure he was refering to the tab on that website titled "build your own standpipes". It's really easy and just a suggestion put a cheap plastic air valve on the end of that tube, it'll help adjust the flow.

Yea, that could be what he was talking about!

I ordered my 2 megaflow durso kits for $89 shipped. Not to expensive.

Click on the above mentioned websites under modifications, If all else fails check your LFS for a plastic airline valve.
