OK so here’s the story on the line “can’t stop now because the clothes are bought.” It’s from a song called Urban Struggle by the Vandals. Back in the early 1980s when SoCal punk rock was in its halcyon days, the bands would play at the Cuckoo’s Nest in Costa Mesa, CA. Just a few blocks away was...
Yeah I overdid it with the 8” Schedule 80, but some of that will be going under driveway on the other side of the property and I wanted the strength there. Probably could have gotten away with less, but could not return once it was bought. As the song goes, can’t stop now as the clothes are bought.
I have a friend who is shop manager for a refinery pipeline company who welded mine. Can’t tell you about the process.
There should be a ton of these lowers available. You can install this as is and run it while searching for a new one.
My experience you crack them torquing them down over a...
The back is 3” corrugated from the downspout. Off to the left is an adapter which takes the 3” corrugated to the 4” PVC handling thin and thick wall. Guess I have my answer: need thick wall 4” PVC.
It says 4” schedule 40. It’s dark out so I’m not going to check. My feet are shit and that trench is treacherous. I measured the schedule 40 pipe and the OD was about 4 1/4”. The ID of the Y was 4 1/2”.
Y is 8” x 8” x 4” schedule 40. 8” schedule 80 pipe glued in just fine to the Y. The issue is the 4” Y is too large for the 4” schedule 40.
I will head to Grainger during lunch tomorrow and get this addressed one way or another.
All the Y’s are this way. They require a larger OD to glue fit. The Y says 4 inch, but the ID measures 4 1/2” to 4 5/8”. The OD of the schedule 40 pipe is 4 1/4”
As title says, schedule 40 pipe the OD is too small for the 4” inlet to the wye:
Did they sell adapters? Or do I need to buy 4” schedule 80 pipe. The 3” to 4” adapter over to the left has two different size ODs for 4”.
OK so the PO had the center ripper tooth installed upside down and now I know why. After reversing it and using it several times, the ripper tooth fell out everytime and now I know why. The outside teeth have lock bars that hold them in place. The lock bar was missing for the center tooth. I...
