Plumbing

[harleymike]

Ok, was going to start plumbing my 120 gallon. Noticed the drains are 1 1/4. So off to the various hardware stores. Cant find any fittings or pipe that is 1 1/4. Im running this through the wall into the next room.
Any suggestions or insight into how to do this.
I always had 1 drain and 3/4 return, this is new to me.

You may be able to switch out the 1 1/4" bulkheads with 1" depending on the hole size they used. Also a 1" sch80 bulkhead is larger then a sch40, so if they drilled for a sch40 1 1/4" then a 1" sch80 will probably fit perfectly. The other option is a PVC reducer. Pretty sure I can get them at Chatham Plumbing, not sure where they would be carried where you are. Try a bath or kitchen shop.

1" SCH 80 SxT Bulkhead Dimensions
Installation Hole Size - Use our 48mm Diamond Coated Glass Drill Bit for DIY installation.

1 1/4" ABS Bulkhead Thread X Thread Dimensions
Installation Hole Size - Use our 53mm Diamond Coated Glass Drill Bit for DIY installation

It would probably fit just fine, but may want to silicone the gap to be safe.

Don't want to change the bulkheads or drain pipe. Just want too hook up with the 1 1/4. Sump ends require 1 1 /4 also. I think rona may carry the 1 1/4 pvc.

Try a hot tub/pool supplier. They carry this kind of stuff.

@harleymike I can get you 1 1/4" from my local plumbing wholesaler if you send me a list of exactly what you need. Than I can ship it over to you

Rona hardware in Sarnia has a pretty good selection, used to be Wilson hardware in Point Edward

Plus one on Rona. Can also check tsc I got some of my 1 1/4 there but mostly from Wilson's plumbing (rona) I looked for weeks between. sarnia and London and they had best selection of odd parts
