Prisitine plumbing thread!

[Stickboy97]

Where are they now? I would love to see some of these awesome plumbing jobs after they have been in use (since most of these pics are when they are new).

How has it worked out? What have you changed? Any good advice for those of us about to plumb something new?

I fancied mine up with my latest build. I even removed the bar codes on the white pvc fittings (even the ones you would and couldn't see) I know I'm sick

Not sure if mine qualifies, but thought it came out decent! First time plumbing a sump.

looks awesome, about to plumb the same sump on a 120 with the same red PVC and schedule 80 fittings.

I got it on amazon prime. Cheaper too. But for some reason the 1in triple in price in the last week. All other size still same price.

You can also order it from home depot and pick in store or have it delivered. I just wish the had longer lengths. I just plumbed a tank that had two 7' runs.

I haven't made any changes since setting up the tank.

If you take your time and think through all the equipment you have and some future additions you might need, then you shouldn't need to modify it much.

I made sure I put in an extra output on my manifold just for future expansion.

U can get furniture grade pvc in different colors but to my knowledge u would have to paint the valves unless u go with the grey schedule 80 fittings then u could find the valves to match in grey

Being I'm in the thread I may as well post a pic. I try to keep it as simple as possible so I don't have pvc in the way every time I try to do something in the stand. Not really prestine but it works for me.

Just finished mine. I need to make a few adjustments to get it super quiet but the bones are all there.
