schedule 80 or black ABS pipe

[350gt]

Either of the 2 safe to put in the tank?

I have searched online but just get mixed reviews like everything else. Wondering if anyone here has been using either..........

a lot of higher end skimmers use Sch 80 plumbing. don't see anything wrong with either

Don't know anything about ABS piping but Sch80 is definitely fine but costs a whole lot more. I know a place is Cibolo that carries Sch80.

Lowes has a little.... I was there awhile ago..

is there a reason to go sch 80?

Cause it's dark.... I painted the bottom and background black..... My egg crate is black...... Don't really want ****ty white PVC in there....

But it was placed in the tank? I am using the pipe as support for the eggcrate.... Nothing in this tank will be cheap... Lol, except my plumbing.... Habaha I even busted out the plumbers crack and I still can't get the work done......

I would have bought the pipe today but the douches they have working at lowes didn't want to cut the pipe in half for me..... I wasn't in the truck.....

Ya, home depot employees dont really care.... Alot of the lowes employees seem like they have never even touched a tool.... But they have some nice stuff there, including sch 80 pipes and fittings... Lol

u should just bring a big o saw and plug it in and cut the pipe lol

[Goofball310]

Which Lowe's do you go to? I've never seen Sch80 at Lowe's or HD by me.

Callaghan and 410...... It's in front of the irrigation.... It's a very small section and most of the fittings are limited to 1" big, nothing really bigger than that.... They have the 3/4 and 1" piping though...

I was about to open a pipe cutter and cut it right there in the store, either way I need a pipe cutter anyways....
