where do you live? i know in the united states home depot has 4" pipe, the fittings are dwv though, so youll have to order that stuff online or find pressure rated stuff elsewhere. what valves are you going to use? supahs, or something homemade?

home depot or any hardware store. Duh!

pipeguru777 · Mon Apr 24, 2006 5:36 pm

home depot really?. i looked there the other day, must be in the back or something. i do live in the states NC actually. oh i'm an idiot, i just looked at ace hardwere thay have 3'' and 1''1/2 sdr, but it's rated to about 160 psi i think, thay did have the shc 80 to sleve it in tho i think i'll make a golfball barell for it. i can't explane the valves i want to use i'll try to get a pant drwing up tho.

i can find pressure rated up to 4" at any tru value store i go to around here, check for tractor supply co.'s in the area, they're one of my favorite stores for fittings. lowes and homedepot usually dont have much in the way of large pressure rated items

this is the valve i what to use

boilingleadbath · Wed Apr 26, 2006 8:51 pm

Oh, that's a fairly standard barrel-sealing piston valve in a tee.
Being a tried and true design, I can garantee it'll work if well built.

As to finding 4" pipe, I found mine at home depot, although that store didn't have it last time I checked... I'm down to 4' of it.
Lowes didn't have any either.

18$ and some change for a 10 foot piece of 4" sch 40 (220 psi) at a home-cheapo, im pretty sure that every home depot carries this pipe

lowes hardly sells it, if they do they sell it for like $12 something for a 5' piece.. ripoff

prices on pvc pipe have skyrocketed mainly due to the hurricanes and the war
