    I’ve bought from JBR in the past as they’ll deliver in 3m lengths whereas most won’t go beyond 1m or you have to collect. Also used Boddington for fittings

    Arr mr big
    I want to make a tube to put a heat exchanger in, also looking at using a small water tank as the flat sides will make the 4” inlets and outlets easier.

    Ah..can you not get away with standard brown pipe? Bit pricey once you start getting that big whatever it’s made of but you might be able to get a short length from somewhere like eBay?

    I could Mr Big but it wouldn’t match

    I have two outlets in my bio I would like to put the gravity UV on one so the flow is slower, but they are to close and not much room as it’s all 4” pipework.

    i have now had the thought that I will use bigger pipe or a small upright storage tank and fit it directly to one outlet then have the UV on the other going into it.
    i could then have the heat exchanger in this and the outlets to the pumps at the bottom using tank connectors.
    what do you recon?

    So I recon the uv will come out of the right side via a 90 bend then come out of the bottom of the uv and back up to enter the tank the same height as the other outlet.
    I will put another 4” outlet at the bottom to run to pump.
