hello
i'm planning a build (looks like this might take years at this rate...)
i've decided to go with 1" plumbing. looking at various threads and youtube, i'm going to go ahead with the bean animal overflow system (haven't yet decided on overflow box vs in-tank overflow, but more on that later.
i know this is probably a vague query, but how many ball valves should i have as a minimal? how many unions would you recommend (again a minimal)?
as per my limited understanding:
1) 1 gate valve for the stand pipe
2) 1 ball valve for the return pipe
3) 3 unions below the display tank for all 3 drains (stand, durso and emergency)
4) 1 check valve for the return pipe
4) with the 1" pvc - should i therefore have the 1" versions of all the the above for an exact fit?
thank you
