Overlow PerforatedPipe

[JamesP]

Anyone know where I can get some of this perforated pipe? It fits standard PVC fittings. Been looking online all day and can't seem to find anything that doesn't require a massive order to purchase.

Looks like this stuff:

I did run across that site while searching today, but the 1996 date on the bottom made me want to keep looking. I'll reach out to them and see if they are still in business 21 years later.

Actually, I just stumbled across this:

Search for 'mesh tube' in their search bar for other options... Or just call them :)

I'm going to reach out to them as well, but they have a minimum order size that concerns me. Other sites I have seen have that also, it it is pretty massive minimum sizes. I thought about requesting a sample, but that seems pretty sleazy if I have no intention of buying anything.

Those are pretty expensive at over $100 each. Not sure that fits for my use case. I have an external fuge and I need a long strainer since chaeto mats up on smaller strainer. Was looking for something about 6" long or that I can cut to size

That's exactly what I want, I just have to hope they are in business still since that date on the bottom of the page is 21 years ago.

If they will not do one-offs, they may be able to point you to someone who can!

True. I'll make some calls tomorrow once things open for business and I'll let you guys know what happens.

I was looking at this too...

I can add a 1" to 1.25" adapter since I am looking for 1" and I can cut to length.

Ha! Sorry, I didn't see that was the original link you posted. Never mind. :-)

I'm trying to replace that low profile strainer with a durso. I'm redrilling everything from 3/4" to 1" as well. Even though I'm only feeding with a 1/2" line at 100gph, the 3/4" dry emergency drain wasn't keeping up without the level rising too high as to cause potential overflow.

OK so I found something and placed an order a minute ago...

Got 1" version. Slides tightly over PVC and is rigid enough to hold shape. The plan is to cut out 4 long windows in the pipe from top to bottom with the Dremel and then slide this over it to screen it off. I may cap the end or just leave it open. Maybe I can even just stick it on a 1" long pipe stub coming out of a fitting and that will hold snug enough to call it a day. I'll report back when it shows up and I do some fabrication. It's only $10 for about 4 feet of the material. Can't beat that.

I know this isn't quite what you are looking for. I have used these in the past and they worked out good.

That's actually exactly what I was looking for. I'll bookmark that for the future in case my diy option doesn't work out. The main requirement was a large surface area as chaeto tends to mat up on overflows.
