Im looking for a 6"x15" piece of PVC pipe. Either drilled/cut so the hydroton dosent flow through or just the pipe, and I will drill the holes. please pm me back with a quote. They only sell the 6" pipe here in 10' sections and my 4" barrier is failing, Thanks. Im in 93933, California, USA |

Ask a local plumber, they may have an off cut you can have. |

Do you have a Lowe's home improvement center, they sell cut pieces. |

The stuff is actually of a size to fit over the outside of the corresponding schedule 40 pipe so it is definitely bigger than trying to fit your hand down a 4" pipe. I thought the 3" stuff was borderline small (my hands fit down it well enough but I wouldn't recommend the 3" for most people) The 4" stuff is big enough for me to pull a 1 1/2" elbow in and out when working on a stand pipe that goes out the side of the bed. |

How much for the 10' length. $10 plus freight for a small bit. I'd buy a length and have some spare. |

Hack saw will work just as well - just mark the line and follow it or your cuts might get a little crooked. Don't be scared to try - it is really easy. My teen kid does it for me all the time. Mark |
