Help request pls - Attaching tank connectors to sloping sides Oxypot v4

[KayDog]

Hi, 

 

I'd appreciate some help, please. 

 

I have an Oxypot v4 (a huge tub and lid with 4 plant sites) and I'm thinking of connecting another one to each other. 

 

The tubs have steeply sloping sides and I'm concerned about leaks from a tank connector. I'm planning on using 22mm push fit plumbing with a straight pipe link of 20cm (shorter pipe=less bendy which might cause a problem?). 

 

Any thoughts, please? 

 

Thanks.

E2a:

Push fit rather than solvent weld cos I need to be able to break the kit down.

I`d go for 22mm john guest speedfit tank connectors, 22mm speedfit elbows and a bit of 22mm pex pipe. I use the tank connectors for drains on all my setips, V9, amazon and a couple of flood and drain bucket systems. Not the cheapest but last a lifetime.

Spot on! I'll take quality over pennies any day. Thanks!

heres my modded v9 with a speedfit tank connector for drain. The slight slope on the sides wont be a problem for the connectors when linking 2 units together.
