im in the process of upgrading my tank and have been sent the wrong sized plumbing by the supplier, however already solvent welded some of it together so now don't know what to do.
I'm using 2" drains all around, but they sent me 1.5" hosetails without me realising, so the 2" flexi Pipe obviously doesn't fit. I have already welded them on to the filters etc so is not possible to remove them without replacing all the plumbing completely and new uni seals etc etc.
I see my options as either:
1. Complain and get money back, then use money to buy new 1.5" plumbing and use this instead. However will this be enough to drain approx 10000lph (Gravity, not pressured)
2. Complain again, and get them to give me reducers/couplers to increase size from the welded1.5 adaptor to the 2" pipe and use 2" pipe.
What does you guys reckon? The first would definitely be a lot easier, however is whether it could cope with the flow?
But with the second the pipe would still be restricted to 1,5" so is it just best doing the first?
