Sump center brace

[MikeDeL]

This is the sump I got used from Alex.... It was handed from one person to another. I have no idea how it came apart..... Let me rephrase that. One side was loose when I got it, the other side got knocked loose by accident when I was working on it. This thing is empty so it wont be too much of a chore to fix it now.

What's even stranger is that you say there's "adhesive" on the plastic; meaning maybe it wasn't solvent welded in the first place.

I just thought of something..... This thing is actually a wet dry Im converting to a sump. This center brace may not have been intended to provide strutural integrity to it. It may have been there just for holding up the media boxes, and that is why it was just glued into place instead of being solvent welded.

So now that I am going to solvent weld baffles in will I need this brace or will the baffles act as the bracing for it?

The baffles will definitely help what size and how tall is the box?

Mike, when I picked that thing up it was really covered in dust, a lot blew off in the back of my truck. If it was a glued joint, sitting dry for long time whith who knows what stacked on it could have worked loose that brace. I kinda thought it was a commercial looking unit, not a custom job - so that might be part of it too?

The deminsions are about 36L x 11W x 11H. The acrylic is 3/8" thick. I will probably have it about 3/4 full and the baffles will be about ever 12".

The baffles should handle it with a problem.
