Yeah, although timing seems to be out of my control...so you trade fit/finish for timeliness.

Got some of my plumbing finally in...funny how difficult it was to get some of this stuff in Canada.

Here's a TrueWye, 2" with graduated reduction to dual 1" pipes for less head pressure.



And here are the expanders that I will use to bridge between some fixed slip pipes already in place. They extend up to 3" and were cheaper than unions.

Kool parts
Hurry up and get it wet already

OK, I gather it'll still be awhile ... but we're gettin' antsy

What's your move-in date, and any anticipated water-testing soon ?

C'mon c'mon c'mon, stop teasing us

Jeez, if I lived up there I'd be volunteering to plumb it

[lastlight]

yeah i see now they are already pretty close together. if it were me and pointing the tunze slightly up didn't work out very well i'd try and move the vortechs up as well. looks like you have unlimited vertical room for holes if the overflow box is narrow enough.

Okay, so I promised a pic to explain the pump orientation.

Here we go:


Don't mind the teflon tape holding up the magnet, apparently these magnets will hold through 15mm glass when there is water, but dry they tend to fall. I want the pump to be at the top of the hole.

In regards to space, there is about 4 1/2" separating the two pumps (Vortech will be above, Tunze below) and I don't really have anywhere to go up with the Vortech as Plumbing, etc, makes moving it difficult...no to mention cutting through wood up against glass.

Murphy doesn't like me whole lot and I have to consider that in any changes too.

I'm probably going to have to glue some sand to small acrylic pieces for under my Tunze's...can anyone tell me what I should use as adhesive?
