Nexus 200 stand pipe size
Hi Yeah all,
Its my first time here so please be gentle.
I've picked up a nexus 200 second hand. While setting it up I've tried to install the stand pipe. Only it won't fit, the pipe I've got is 110mm soil pipe. No matter what I do it won't pass through the body of the nexus.
Everyone seems to list 4 inch pipe as 110mm. But 4 inch is only 101mm, there isn't the space for another 9mm in the nexus.
What is everyone else using?

I'll measure up my one tomorrow..... Brand new and unused, but don't want to part with it because you just never know...

Managed to measure it up tonight. Unfortunately this might not be what you wanted to read:
My Nexus is a 220 and it comes with the standpipe included. My Standpipe is pressure pipe and it isn't perfectly round.
The outer diameter is between 113mm and 115mm depending on where you measure it. (Quite poorly manufactured actually).
The length of my standpipe is 405mm.
When I removed it I had to take it out from underneath.
However, Looking at EA Aqua's instructions for the Nexus 200 it says you have to make your own Standpipe out of 110mm or 4" pipe (which as you know are totally different diameters).
Have a look here under "Important: Essential Action" on page 6:

Thank you for measuring yours.
Not sure how EA can get away with saying 4inches as 110mm but hey. Guess I'll be on the look out for some actual 4 inch pipe work!
Thanks again for your help
