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.

Consider something like this?

Lowes is a bit far, but is the best bet so far. That product from aquaticeco is a little too small, my hand has a hard time fitting in 4".

thanks for the replys

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.

Found this seller on ebay
6" diameter schedule 40 pvc pipe (1foot length) http://cgi.ebay.com/6-diameter-schedule ... 20ae9051c5

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

went with usplastic.com, 5' length was like $40.

now how does one easily cut it?

PVC Pipe cutter if you have one or want to puchase/borrow one. 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.
