Personally I'd go to Irish Intl. on Tramore Rd. for any plumbing needs, always a good few people on the desk and about the widest selection of plumbing supplies in Cork,
but CBP should have them too

But, do you not mean 1 1/2" (40mm) waste pipe?
1/2" is tiny for pvc, don't think I've seen pvc less than 21.5mm for the overflow system

The only other thing to keep in mind is that the White, Black and Grey made by Marley, Wavin and FloPlast I think are incompatible with each other
Even though they will all say 40mm, they've a slightly different diameter when joining a coupling to the pipe

So you'd need to be buying the original type, or if you get really stuck, a grey flexible coupling with jubilee clips on either end to make up the difference in diameter

+1 to the above, I always get great advice from the guys in Irish Intl, they're very knowledgeable which I find dead handy as it saves me the price of a plumber on small jobs.

Got some in B&Q along with some Water Fliter Heads,

Ah you must be using alkatene/hydrodare so?

Outkast_IRE

just a headsup , b&q is usually multiples dearer than irish international and CBP for plumbing components and pipe usually.

I'm trying to Build this for my Own green house,

http://www.growshop.ie/hydro-dutch-pot-system-199.html
its cost 390 euros,

I can get the parts off that site

Pots for DPS *12 -> €10 = 120

Aero flo Tubling *12 -> €2.50 = 30

Plastic Red Spikes *12 -> €0.60 = 7.20

Top-Hat Grommet * 12-> €1.00 = 12

i can get some one i know to make the Metal frame,

all i need is to see where can i buy the Pipes to match this,

The manual is in the Attachments

I would need

2 T joints & 2 corner joints for the big pipes

for the small piping

1 T joint and two Corner pipes. i dont know where i would pick up the Washer for it that you can see in the 3rd pages that shows M..

all in all i would say the total cost will be 200 euro

Honestly havent seen that sort of pipe around, it seems like a real specialist area, if you have the proper name of the pipe and fitting contact the maker to find the nearest supplier.

I'm after trying every where on the net for spare parts

i could buy something like the size of the pipe

just buy 2 big pipe and drill the small holes on them and place in your Top-Hat Grommet

The Big pipes are for Over Flow,

The water ones it works its way down from the clay pellets it will then drop down into the pipes and work its way to the 50Ltr Box,

the small pipes are which are pumping the water into the boxes

if you do a homemade version you would get all the pipe and fittings and glue for well less than 100 euro.
You could use 1 1/2 inch marley or 2 inch for the big pipes on the underside , and you can get light guage alkathene with tees etc no problem. I would source the tanks etc first then look at pipe .

I prefer Irish international myself, most of the lads behind the counter know what they are talking about, just try and go in at a quiet time in the morning .

Are they based in pouladuff road

Quality plastics are down your way too. My company buys most of our piping needs from them or cork plastics.

Thanks for the help,

I will buy the boxes and fittings first then

I can see what size piping i need

Jeju

Haldfords have a 3.2mm internal tubing for windscreen wipers as per link.

Euro2.49 for what looks like 5 foot

http://www.halfords.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_11101_catalogId_15551_productId_824179_langId_-1_categoryId_212565#tab1

All the other stuff you could use 40mm ABS fittings/pipe and 22mm White overflow fittings/pipe.

If you put the 3.2mm tube into boiling water and had a small length of 6mm copper pipe it might slip over it and use a 6mm copper 611 to connect to the plastic overflow pipe.

Cool I'll check them out
