.25 is to small and there is no such thing in burst disks, also, in the drawing, I meant to angle the 3"in pipe, not the burst disk, the pipe will probably be about 4 feet long and angled down

Yea thats a good idea to angle the 3in pipe. Yes ther are .25in burst disks
I have one in my hand right now they are just very hard to find I used to get mine at ace hardware but recently it seems like they have stopped selling them

Stopped selling .25" burst disks? I didn't know that premade burst disks were available at normal hardware stores. Don't they get expensive? You really don't need the degree of precision given by pre-manufactured burst disks anyway. For our purposes, it is much cheaper to make your own. MUCH CHEAPER. The last premade burst disks that I have seen were precision machined graphite, and cost $70 each. To make your own, just get a 1/4" union, and cut tinfoil disks of whatever thickness you want so that they'll seal inside.

Well, when you say burst disks, most people will assume that you mean burst disks, not unions. The fact that a True Value sells premade burst disks surprises me. What size and pressure are they?
