Put this Dorso pipe together with sch. 40 pvc. I don't know if the flow will be adequate. Space is very limited in my Eshopps eclipse small. Looking to find some thin wall tubing like the emergency over flow. I will add cap and tubing tomorrow.

Space is tight

they make schedule 120 1” pipe …
(I think it’s called schedule 120)
Anyway, Lowes sells it in 10ft sections
Also that Eshopps red pipe is thin walled…
Avail at .Premium Aquatic, BRS, et et
 
I’d also tap a 1/4” hole in that cap and force one of those cheap o plastic air valves into it
…. pardon,hat assuming you didn’t already know
 
Definitely following along. I’ll be setting up one of these eshop overflows soon. Would love to see a video of it when it’s all up and running
 
Pipe does just fine, handle the flow easily. But lid wont sit back down due to the air line. will drill two holes for it to come out and back in (1/4 in.)
