Build your own standpipe.

Thought I would post this just in case someone wasn't sure how to build one :-)

These things are supposed to make your tank QUIET! This set-up is for a 1" Bulkhead so the pipe 1-1/4" as well as most of the fitting unless otherwise indicated.

PVC pieces needed for the actual stand pipe..... ALL fittings are to be SLIP fittings! (not threaded... just in case someone didn't know what I meant by slip).
  1. 1-1/4" PVC End Cap
  2. 1-1/4" PVC Street-Ell
  3. 1-1/4" PVC Tee
  4. 1-1/4" PVC Pipe (the amount I got was the height of my tank + another foot to make connectors)
  5. 1-1/4" PVC Coupling
  6. 1-1/4 to 1" Reducer Bushing
  7. 1" PVC Pipe (a small piece... say half a foot)
  8. 1" Bulkhead (slip fitting)
