Hi Bart,
Thanks for the info. BTW, 1" copper pipe is the largest that
I can find in my local Home Depot or Lowe's. Did you have
to go to an actual old-fashioned hardware store to find the
1 1/2" copper pipe? I know that larger diameter copper pipe
can be obtained at a plumbing supply but you mentioned
getting yours at a hardware store. I still have about a 6 ft.
length of 1" copper pipe and I hate the idea of having to
buy more larger diameter copper pipe at its current price$.
(A 10 ft . length of the 1" stuff at my local Lowe's is now
~$46!).
Hi Dave,
With a little more air flow I believe 1" pipe will do fine. If you need to
go larger, in this size it usually requires a trip to a real plumbing supply
store, for drain extensions (18-24") instead of 10' pipe lengths. If you
don't mind doing some serious cleaning, you might also try recycling centers
(junk yards to old-old-timers) ;^)) Copper drains in 1-1/4" and 1-1/2" were not
that uncommon before the advent of plastic everything, but it's messy work.
Also check commercial demolition areas. Larger buildings used larger piping.
Hope this helps,
Matt D.
