INLINE HEATER + PH PROBE

[Ray.M]

Hi,

I am make an inline heater + ph probe unit from 150 upvc piping. I can put most of it together except I am having trouble sourcing 16mm brabs to take the 16/22 eheim hose. I need the barbs with a fixing so that I can ensure a leak free connection to the 150 diameter upvc piping (curved surface).
If anyone can help or direct me to a supplier it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ray

Use a reducer to 15mm PVC pipe this will work just as well as 16mm barbs if you want to be doubly sure use 2 16-22mm stainless hose clips from buntings from memory 72c each.

I want the 150 diameter upvc pipe vertical (approx 400mm high) with an end cap on the bottom and a screw cap on the top. I have purchased two cable glands to take the eheim heater and ph electrode. I intend to drill the screw cap and secure the cable glands.
I want an inlet and outlet directly opposite each other near the base, I want to come in from the sides.
I was hoping to drill a hole in the side of the 150 dia pipe and get a reducer or barb that I can clap using a nut on each side.
