The finished plumbing. Enough time had transpired that I looked at all the PVC bits I had amassed and I could not figure out what I had in mind anymore. I know it made sense at one point, but these ideas I get only seem to last so long before evaporating I guess.

6 or 7 trips to the hardware store in the last week, and at least 3 more "um what was I thinking again?" moments, this is what I've come up with.

I went with flex 1" on the drain because I wanted the Durso to drain vertically. The pipe then bends over to where the hole I had to drill in the stand to get to the sump.

The sump return, on the other hand, is rigid 1" PVC so that I can use conduit strapping to secure it to the stand. I want the output on the corner and I don't want it moving around. I'm through with suction cups, I'm hard plumbing this all the way.

Everything is modular so can be taken apart if need be, and reused, without cutting anything.




The 1" pipe goes to an elbow then a bushing to 3/4" threaded, and then Locline with a 3" flared nozzle.
