Need Durso help


I need help fast so i can get the dimensions of the overflow to the acrylic guy. I need to know how to build a durso style standpipe in a confined space. the standard design i have seen involves an upside down "J" shape by using 2 90 degree PVC joints with a hole drilled in the top. I need the durso to stand straight up and down. a little help on this style please.

i think you are thinking of a Stockman stovepipe. apparantly Ken's site has moved and i can not find it, but the link i posted above has some good info about half way down. the most important thing to remember when doing either a Stockman or a Durso is to go up a size in piping from what the bulkhead is. it creates a backup at the bulkhead allowing a more quiet operation.
