Hey 4hv...

I'm planning on FINALLY getting around to building my first DRSSTC. Problem is I cannot seem to find any large diameter white PVC/ABS tubing suppliers in the UK... anywhere!

I've been trying to find a tube that is around 200mm diameter and 1 meters long I brought one on ebay but it was so flimsy and misshapen... I'm gonna throw it away.

Does anyone in the UK know where 'the good stuff' is?

Thanks!

Gray PVC tubes which are generally used for toilet water :) are very good for secondaries.
We call them "toilet tube". Diameters available are 60, 100 (or 110?) and 200 mm

You wont find it in a consumer hardware store. You'll need to contact a professional plumbing pipe supply.

I might even go halves on a 3 metre length, Tom wink

EDIT: Including delivery, etc. it works out just under £65 for a 3 metre lrngth.

Just a heads up on the 315x3000 mm pipes, its super heavy, about 10mm wall and it weighs ... 50kg+. I could barely lift it alone on my shoulder.
