Heaths Flooded Tube Vertical

I can't find that self sealing pipe anywhere Im in the US. Can anybody give me a link to somewhere that I can get it in the US so I can price it. Or if not any ideas on making one that I can break down and resetup if needed or add to etc. Any help will be appreciated.

I have been looking myself with not much luck, cant seem to find the self sealing stuff. if you find it, please post the link here

what's wrong with pvc glue...?

just asking...

eh honestly I never fucked with plumbing much, dont know to much about it, some how it always seemed worth paying the plumber, than dealing with shit. literally.

They allow it to be used in the pipes that carry your drinking water...

I think it should be plenty safe for the plants.. unless that is not the reason why you want fancy pipes.....

I'm just curious...

curious about what? you lost me buddy

well with pvc glue once you have it up you would have to cut it up to get it back down and I want to be able to move it easily if needed.

Gotcha...

and these re-use-able pipes don't leak?

Well if they market it as a product than prolly not.. but I'd be scared...

Threads are OK too if you use teflon paste or tape...

But in all honesty, you would have to cut it dozens of times before it became a problem...

Just slip a joint in with some more glue and your back in business...

Takes what?!? 45 sconds for that shit to bond...??

Just a thought....

Trying to play the devil's advocate you know...

The sealant in question can be re-broken if necessary.

It is safe to use as yes, it it used to seal many PVC pipes including those for drinking...

If purchasing PVC pipe I would recommend that you ask for 'Lead free pipe'...

Is still commonly used today, but is not used for down pipes on houses (for water tanks) or any kind of plumbing that is ducted for drinking water....

Cheers Jimmy.

Jimmy thank you that is good to know how would go about breaking it? You also need them to move if you plan on using the dam idea of his otherwise you would not be able to drain them easily....Anyway I think I found some things that may help people out who want one that will move and break down easily. This company fernco seems to make a lot of different flexible connectors here is a few that may help someone out looking to make one these systems.

Have you tied searching for "soil vent pipes"? Thats what its called here in U.K.

SDR-35 Gasket Seal 4"

Thank You

You only really need the angles and couplers with gaskets and the tube can be regular sdr-35. You can search online to find the 90s and the 45s for about 7 bucks each but the actual tubing you should find locally because shipping is a pain in the ass on a 10 foot long tube.

in the usa sd-35 is the standard produced by black diamond plastics,ferguson,

You can use the US DWV, and a ball valve. Take the ball valve and turn it to the side, the ball valve will then become an adjustable damn. Mark the positions before installation. A gate vale installed upside down will work. 4" ball valve is pricey, so are gates. But this 4" DWV sys glued will not leak. The hardest part of this sys is building it. It can be adapted to numerous configurations. You can configure it to have a doorway if you want. 4 of them can run perpetual with the right strain.

ok I'm going to chime in here, I was excited to find this thread---I've seen other forums with his set-up. quite the bummer this grow is gone, I have purchased a 60" Max Tube in hopes of doing a vert,Aero of course! I'm currently building my mothers up so it's still going to be a couple months---BUT when I do, oh baby, WHEN I DO! I'll be posting pics. yeah baby. too many babys there? NEVER
