Overflow,sump plumbing

[Garibaldimon]

What is the best vid,diagrams, etc on how to correctly measure pvc from external(shadow) ovetflow down to sump, to make it uniform? Also what are the best clips to use to hold pvc to slot stand?
Thank you

Plumbing is basically an art. Dry fit everything, dont cut too short and you can always trim it down more if needed.
You shouldnt have to brace the PVC once its bonded in place as the runs are generally short enough and do not bear any weight.

Ok thanks but if you were gonna use clips for extra strength? And is there a length to use i appreciate it

Thread 'Pvc support hangers ?'

Feb 14, 2021

Building a 1” pvc manifold with unions...will these clamps allow me to unscrew the unions ? https://www.teksupply.com/contractor/supplies/prod1;;pg106807_112538.html

....need enough offset to unscrew the unions and they don’t give any measurements...what have y’all used ?

I ask because some of the reviews for the BRS clamps, here https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/sm-clamp-for-pvc-pipe.html ...look similar and they say it doesn’t work with unions.

You can find all kinds of pipe clamps, supports,hooks, whatever online, you just need to the right size for the size pipe you’re using it with. I don’t have any clamps or hangers as it’s pointless on smaller systems with sch80 being so rigid and the runs so short
