Plumbing help

I have a 40mm pipe coming from my zeo reactor that I can't for the life of me find any fitting for. The reactor came with an elbow and a tube which I've been using for the last year but I want to move some stuff around in my sump and that's all that's stopping me.

Anyone ever heard of 40mm pvc?

Isn't 40mm a bit over 1 1/2" ?

Yup, I first tried a 1 1/2 inch pipe but it didn't fit. Thought about getting the dremel out and making it fit. I might have to do that.

Get a metric to inch adapter.

PVC piping is made in both "US" and "Metric" versions..
And of course they are different sizes..
40mm is well... metric of course..
Kind of funny (to me) that you gave us a measurement in "metric" anyways..

I just found them. . . who knew BRS had them this whole time.

the rest of the world should just adopt the US standard :lolspin:

Or us adopt metric.. I really don't care.. just someone pick one already..

We are one of the few who don't use metric only
