Herbie overflow - what size?

[fkshiu]

The bigger, the better (within reason). Remember, a Herbie is designed to be adjustable downwards with the gate valve. It's much easier to fix if you've gone too big, than if you've gone too small.

check out the calculator on Bean Animals site (here, towards the bottom) it basically show how much a siphon can flow so can be used to size a Herbie.

Thanks everyone! I didn't realize the Herbie required a coast to coast overflow. I guess I have to go back and do more research.

You don't need a CtoC for a Herbie (maybe for the Bean).

thanks Mark, I really didn't want a CtoC overflow. Also, thanks for the link to the calculator it will help me with the pipe sizing.
