  • Replacement white pipes for Eshopps overflow

    I am trying to find the white pipes that come with this overflow box.



    I need a spare set so that I can try to modify the box and make it more quiet. Despite appearance, this isn't a standard type of pvc that I can find in the local hardware store.

      Not sure if this help but eshopps overflows comes with a standard 1" bulkhead and a standard 1" pipe can fit in there.

          I will take pictures tomorrow of the internal diameter compared with a sch-40, its a big difference.

            I tried the SDR 21 and it also didn't work. The size is close to that, but not quite.

              That's standard pvc in the over flow box. I don't understand why it won't work?

                The pipes supplied with the Eshopps easily drop in with no problem. Some of the pipe I found at Lowe's fit but only with excessive force.

                Oddly enough, the Schedule 40 PVC easily attaches to the underside of the box.

                I am talking about the white pipes that go inside the overflow and the black sponge fits over the top.
