pvc

:p It's not an incorrect answer but what is it and what does it do?

It is for Protein Skimmer air intake valve and water output adjustment.

Very clever design.

That's some heavy PVC.

I'm sure the air intake will be silence since the thick PVC pretty much seal off the sound. The output water adjustment design is cool.

You are probably correct. I will inquire...I just thought it was higher density PVC. It's a good bit denser and heavier than typical PVC.

the UHMWPE is not cheap. we use it on our railcars and tank trucks. Just this parallel instrument tee and flanged Camlock fitting is over 1500 bucks
