Hi Folks,

Hoping to get my overflow running over the holidays.

I have this :

What parts do I need that I can't get from a hardware store? I'm putting in an order online tonight and most places sell fittings/etc so I thought I would just order them with my order.

Do I need to buy bulkheads? Returns? Ball valves?

Help.. lol

Hi i have the exact same overflow box and am also trying to get a sump working. what was recommended to me from the person who sold it to me is 1" PVC. Just jam it into the bulkhead (with cement) and voila you have a drain.

i have mine all plumbed up but now it's just about getting the rest of the plumbing figured!!

Is this cement permanent or can it be removed?

I'm already thinking of an upgrade.. lol.. And I want to be able to use this same overflow on a bigger tank.

yeah it's pretty permanent. if you wanted to keep the permanent plumbing to a minimum, you could just put 6" of PVC in there with glue to start the drain and then add a valve. Everything from that point down is potentially temporary.

have a look at this
 

Hi,

So I won't pretend to know too much about plumbing... especially because I'm right in the middle of messing it up myself, but I thought you might like this visual at the very least.

Good luck!
