PVC inserts
Ron, you stated in another post that you are now selling the sch 26 pvc inserts for the 11 plant system. Do you have a website where they can be purchased.
Thanks Jim |

I made my own inserts. I went to my neighborhood Lowes and bought the next scheduled size pipe down and cut them into rings and voila. It worked perfectly. THey only sold 10ft sections of this pipe but it only cost like 3-4 dollars so it wasnt to bad.
Just take what ever size "T" shaped pieces and plug them into the next size pipe down. Keep going until you get a nice snug fit. Last edited by BigQBoris; 06-02-2009 at 07:58 PM. |

I'd prefer if you buy the inserts from Ron, but if you are stuck, i can send you some pvc. Lots of it down here in FL. Send me a private message or post here. Greg

Almost?
For what it's worth, I had a heck of a time here in Maryland when I was asking for "Schedule 26" pipe. Most didn't know what I meant. I found out that "thinwall" is a better term around here, and it seems to be used widely by landscapers/irrigation companies. Once I found thinwall, "Schedule 21" was all I could find and the markings are "SDR21" and "ASTM D 2241". I think it's a wee bit thicker than 26 since the 2 liter caps only go about halfway in but it seems to work with a generous amount of glue to seal the cap "ridges". I'm using 1 inch pipe, btw.

Don PS I found out after buy a 10 ft section of the thin wall from Home Depot that their thin wall is the correct size. The bottle cap is a nice press fit. Last edited by Brokenfeather; 03-06-2010 at 09:40 PM. |
