Hopefully it's a special section for the 90 mm. Might give another B a try also.

I went to a plumbing store and they had heaps of stuff.

Big B shits me!!!'

Go on you blokes dont know how to handle them i have a parking spot at ours with my name on it

Its worth checking out other hardware stores/plumbing first before B. 40mm 90deg elbows cost me $1.90 while B had them for about $5.50.

Yer iv got a local thrify in strathfieldsaye and it's a semi rural supplies as well and they have 40mm bulkheads for $5 and I got a length of 40mm hp for like $25 much cheaper on couplings t and elbows etc.

Are you comparing apples with apples? IOW were they both 40mm DWV ? I think the $5.50 would have been high pressure PVC.

Interesting photo you have there in your avatar. I took a series of them one after the other going up the west coast when I drove around the block in 2005.

Both 40mm pressure pvc, identical fittings far as I could tell with same wall thickness.

Photo was on an trip to Esperance WA, don't bother normally to take them. I do a lot of road trips from Esperance around the coast up to Wyndham for work.

Ok....tank fittings
Hansen 50mm $35
Hansen 80mm $135
Hansen 100mm $180

The price of the 80mm and 100mm hurts...would 2 x 50mm work similar?
Would 2 x 50mm be more flexible?

What do you want those fittings for if you are running cp just use 90 mm stormwater pipe $15 for 6 metre and a 90 elbow $5.00 just poke it through the wall and a bit if sellys roof and gutter silicone mines been running 3 years no problem
Flemington 1/2 hr drive and i can show you how its done

Check around page 86 of my thread thats how its done

Thanks F&F.

It is for the FT overflow onto the GB of the CP.

It didn't occur to me just to use the method your suggesting.

And your suggestion makes perfect sense given the nature of the application as the overflow will not require a watertight/pressurised seal.

Slowly understanding that I have much more to learn.

Knowledge and wisdom are 2 very different things...F&F has both.

Being able to fix any plumbing... in their sleep.... would be a pretty good qualification...
