Overflow tube on Primary and Secondary Bean Animal



The Primary and secondary overflows are locayed on the outside and the 3rd overflow in located in the middle as a straight pipe into the sump



Closeup of the Gate Valve and Unions



My returns, complete with ball valve for adjusting flow if needed, and check valve

Very nice and clean plumbing!

Very nice. Super clean set up. Following along

Will the overflow still be quiet and silent with just a stand pipe and a strainer on top? Don't you need to have it capped? Pardon my ignorance on how beananimal overflows work.

The gate value will hold the water back therefore falling onto itself making it quiet

You are correct. This is not a typical bean animal overflow. This is set up more like a herbie with another main drain.

See this website for a true bean animal
