Fish Crazy
Ok so I have made a Durso standpipe! and it works excellent!!!
I cant believe how well it works!!
Tools used
Hacksaw
drill and 1/8th drill bit
stanley knife
file
Parts needed
2 mtr waste pipe 1 1/4 inch (for 1 inch bulkhead)
90 1 1/4 Knuckle bend
88.5 deg 1 1/4 Tee
1 1/4 cap with seal
90 1 1/4 push fit bend
PTFE tape
polypipe cement
Build Time
45 minutes
I couldnt find some of the bits recommended by Mr durso (is it richard I forget) So I have used common sense I purchased what I could on saturday afternoon from a High st retail DIY store that is orange!!
Ok so I nipped in to DIY shop this afternoon and spent about £6 for this lot
So I measured to top of the overflow and cut down the 1 1/4 waste pipe
Filed all the edges down for a neat fit,
This was how large it was before modding it
I have a narrow weir so I bought two types of 90 deg bends to work with.
and
It turns out neither of them fitted very well, so i used the first and cut it up, I cut the bottom piece first as this was nearly and extra qurter of an inch wider than pipe work, this was a bit better but it gave a distinct lean to the standpipe, So I cut the piece where it goes into the "T" so there was around 10mm and about the same on the "T" also, this gave an excellent result.
I then took the 1 inch threaded waste pipe extender and trimmed this down as my reducer pipe because my bulkhead isnt threaded and is obviously 1 inch wide,
I then PTFE taped the bottom joined all pieces together, Got the cap and put a 1/8th drill hole in top and put it into tank and fired sump back up!
What you all think?
this is only first one I gonna re make it better of course!
I have only did this one quickly tonight to try out so it isnt glued only got PTFE tape holding it in place
