I had a conniption fit..
.. honestly I had a conniption fit
Long story short the guy I bought the barrels from showed up with one of the barrels being defective and having a bit of a weak spot, he said he would come back with another barrel the following day and also drill both of them and install bulkheads. Well dude never showed back up after two days quit returning calls or texts and that was a week ago. So rather than jump through hoops , I found a guy here in town who has the white foodgrade barrels that aren't rounded at the bottom. So anyway I will be picking up and plumbing the white barrels tonight . Going with 1 inch plumbing since I already have all the pieces , except the uniseals, which are due this afternoon. If they don't show up I will go ahead and use the three-quarter inch plumbing that he provides and usually sells the barrels with and just go exchange my 1 inch junk.
So here is the final mock up.. And a diagram ( lmao.. Ok it's chicken scratch.. I'm impatient lol) of what I will add later when I join the barrels w an external pump ..
I decided to go with the Tee right off the barrel to save space in front, since it's in kinda a cramped spot in the garage. By doing it like this ( instead of a straight line Union/ Tee/Ball valve/ elbow ) I was able to cut the forward encroachment by half, from 15 to only 7"..
Any input???
aside from "DO IT!!!' ?...
