orbit eco lock sprinkler pipes

[jimlin]

i have been doing some research on pipes i can use on my tank and came across orbit brand pipes.

people used it for outdoor sprinkler systems and it seems to be flexible as well.

have anyone used this before?

I think the issue would be the limited amount of fitting types and sizes since sprinkler systems are pretty standard.

You can buy flexible PVC pipe (which can be glued into standard fittings) in any size. For instance: www.flexpvc.com

I have used a fair bit of it. Although I prefer standard rigid PVC, the flex is nice for really funky angles (where you would need to use a ton of fittings like a lego project) and ot works very well.

hvaen't used orbit brand specifically before but have you used different brands of felixible PVC including irrigation application-based stuff.

 

in the end, i like using flexpvc.com and flexiblepvc.com. they have the best prices, different colors, diferrent wall thicknesses in case i need something extra flexible, etc. works likes regular rigid PVC in setting up with primer and cement and never had issues with leaks or kinking. increased flow and reduced backpressure is a bonus, and the grey matches schedule 80 nicely if you're meticulous as some of us, haha.
