Plumbing a OM 4 Way

[ckusnierek]

I know a few of you have them and I was just wondering were to locate it. Mine has a 2" in and 1.5" out but I will reduce them to 1.5" in and 1" out.

The feed pump (dart) has a 1.5" out and there are 4 1" in the tank already. I was considering mounting the OM as high as possible incase I ever need to service the durm I wont have to worry about so much water.
Like about level with the top of the tank. I may also mount the dart on the wall behind the tank to decrease head.

How do you do it?

Also rigid PCV or Spaflex?

My friend has a Dart mounted to his wall and it resonates quite a bit--a little too noisty. You might want to be cautious about that.

Yeah I never thought about that.

Is there any way you could mount a small shelf to the wall instead? I placed a sheet of 1/4" rubber under both of my darts and they are virtually silent.

Actually there is a 8" ledge along the wall I'm puting the tank and I was going to make the stand 24" deep (tank is 18") That will give me 12" between the tank and wall plenty of room for the Dart and OM. And the ledge is very solid. There should be no vibrations...
