PVC pipe fittings
2 questions:
1) is there such a thing as a 90 degree elbow available with a 2" NPT male thread on the end? Lower the profile, the better. 2) is there any kind of fitting that can be put in the middle of a run of PVC pipe that will allow it to be dissassembled and reassembled? reason I ask is, I'm making an overflow pipe for a cistern. It has a 2" NPT hole in the top of the cistern. I have a NPT to PVC adapter feeding a 90 degree elbow, when the water starts flowing out of the elbow the water level is very close to the hole in the top of the cistern where the downspout enters. If I could lower the floor of the elbow at all that would be preferable. The reason for the second question is I would like to glue the pieces together once this setup is all worked out, but if I did that there would be no way to remove it from the cistern without cutting the pipe. thanks! nate -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel |

Try a local plumbing supply house, the type a plumber goes to, if you know
what you want and have money they will sell you anything they have. They just don't have time to hold hands while people figure out what they want and they don't usually have any displays.
