Maybe it's 91%. Not looking at the bottle.

I am not one to carry around alcohol like some people... ;Wideyed

The good news is that it's never too late to start! ;Smuggrin

I learned something new today. Glass cages has specific bulk heads. It's ok. A friend of mine is going and is getting me some new ones.

 

[Katrina71]

I have 1.5 and 1.25 bulk heads.

 

[Katrina71]

Sooo would y'all go to 1.25 and 1? Or reduce down to 1 and 3/4?

Honestly, on the drains, go as big as you can. There is no harm since you are putting a valve on it to match the pump.

The return, I think I would reduce it.

Just my opinion.

Ok. Return at 3/4 then?

 

[dantimdad]

Yes, I think so.

BTW, I have wondered why GC uses schedule 80 bulkheads all along.

That's another discussion that will cause arguments. LOL!

You beat me to it. I was gonna ask. Can I mix schedule 40/80? Would y'all go with 80 or 40? Why?

 

[Katrina71]

I have only used schedule 40 in the past.

 

[dantimdad]

You will still use sch40 pipe. Just in case you were wondering.

 

[count krunk]

sch 80 is overkill. these are low-pressure systems.

i think 40 and 80 are slightly different sizes. i have also only used 40

 

[dantimdad]

As far as fittings go, they can use the same pipe on either 40 or 80. The inside diameter of 80 is smaller because the walls are thicker so, in effect, you get lower flow potential out of 80 unless your run VERY high pressure.

We are on the same page. :)

 

[Katrina71]

I'm pretty sure my girl card is getting revoked for even admitting that. Or knowing those terms.

 

[Katrina71]

So to be sure, I can use 40 on everything except the bulkheads?

 

[dantimdad]

The bulkhead fittings themselves have to be schedule 80 because the holes are too big for schedule 40.

Everything else can be sch40
