I did my plumbing today. I think it looks fairly good for having no experience in this stuff ever before. It’s not glued yet however. I am curious what you guys recommend I can use to attach the pipe to the stand or whatever atleast someway to support it. I currently have it balancing on the pvc pipe but that’s not realistic. It’s also fairly far from the actual stand.. I’m thinking maybe zip ties?

Where do you get this colored pipe? Making me look like a slob, lol...

I use a screw and zip ties. There are pipe hangars also.

Coloured pipe is MUCH cheaper here... formufit.com, shipping is a little more but they have ALOT more selection at roughly 30% less than BRS. And BE I'd go with a couple long PVC hangers, If you can find somewhere to order them.....
