kiwis Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 what pipes connect to these tank fittings and where do I get this time? I'm guessing PVC pipe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trelize Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 I got a lot of my plumbing parts from Waterworks on Marua road Mt Wellington, but any local plumbing shop should carry them , If you have a look at the Last page of my tank build you can see my plumbing that I recently completed. viewtopic.php?f=13&t=64685&start=135 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwis Posted April 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 I have found the ANKA range at Bunnings http://www.bunnings.co.nz/search/produc ... ctFrom=Any They have a tank fitting, my only question is how can I connect these to a straight and firm PVC pipe for my overflow bar inside my tank?
