Where can I buy clear PVC?

Shelly · 01-10-2002, 05:52 PM

Does anyone out there know where I can buy 2" clear PVC and end caps? I live in New Jersey (USA) and have checked both Lowes and Home Depot and no dice. I have also contacted a couple of local plumbing suppliers and they don't carry it either. Any other suggestions, either local or online?

And yes, I am making an air trap for my water cooling setup, in case you were wondering.

www.mcmaster.com has them too, one of those sites might be more convenient due to shipping issues

of course i could find some real use for the bhongs also... its a tight call

Yeah I tried my hand at making a airtrap like Turbokeu's, but I couldn't find any parts like his. Where tubokeu lived they didnt have Lowes or Home Depot. Later I'll post some pics of mine, but right now I am having digi cam problems.

Here is my airtrap, didn't have any space for a big one in PVC.

It works really well since the copper parts has an ID of 14mm.

What are those yellow things on the tube?

Brad · 01-13-2002, 03:52 PM

It's zip-ties, I used them since they look a lot cleaner than hose clamps.

Brad · 01-13-2002, 06:23 PM

hehe, they look very good, but I'd use another colour for them personally

I only had yellow, red and blue left and since they are hidden behind the pump I choosed yellow

You can't see that they are yellow when the green light is on anyway...

Brad · 01-13-2002, 06:31 PM

hehe ok, I use yellow or some other colour for temporary work, for anything permanent, I use black or clear

[dannzig] · 01-15-2002, 01:44 PM

seems like a really good idea to put a airtrap in after all... ill be building myself as soon as possible....
