No idea on price but its 16bar rated.

My mains are 315mm mdpe it has a wall thickness of near 2"

12inch pipe! Holy smokes. Biggest I can find on that site is 5 inch underground rated at 10bar. I'll give them a phone though. Cheers

Some use ex irrigator 90mm od plastic pipe, though thats prob more for dirty water.

 

[Speedstar]

you want nothing less than a 6" pipe rated at 16 bar

Laid 200meters around the yard connecting up towers & slatted tanks.
Have started laying 800meters out to the fields under 2 roads. The wet weather and the occasional hard as f*ck blue rock patches are slowing the job up a bit but we're getting there....... [emoji106]

What are people's views on burying a pipe in the floor of an outside slurry pit to enable us to suck out with tankers. The pit is dug into the ground and like a big bowl, at the moment when we do it we have to keep dropping further into the pit with the tankers to be able to reach the slurry. Not ideal and very messy. Looking into digging a pipe into the floor so we can stay on pit edge but suck from the middle. Currently use 6 inch infill but looking into an 8 inch load arm for the future. Question is will it work and what is the best pipe to use?

I'd think it would work fine, I'd use galvanized metal 8" pipe. Once in the the lagoon have it sticking up 6 or 8 inch to help avoid any foreign objects sooking in!

Well worth giving Ellis irrigation a ring for price

I hope you are putting it in deep enough, may be just the picture. Like to see a metre of cover

Other problem is the stirrer, needs to be well out the way so it doesn't get hit! Hadn't thought of metal pipe due to rusting but galvanised would solve that.

I wouldnt of thought 10 bar enough for a good pump out fit

Is that to use with umbilical system and then run off some outlets in the field?

Yeah that's it.... Will be a game changer for us

Finally got round to putting my outlets in. Concrete 2moro hopefully!

Are they a solvent joint?

Yeah just glued in. The glue only really seals it thou. I've been told to put plenty concrete in as the pressure on those 90's can pop it all out the ground[emoji85]

Yes do , we had one come out the ground when blowing the pipe out with a ball , was only put in with soil & it took every thing off the end of it but it was only a 4" pipe.

I have a 315mm mdpe pipe running out of the base of my lagoon (about 50m long) it then feeds into another store that I suck out of with the tanker,it means apart from stirring I never have to go near the banking.

I designed my lagoon so filling and emptying works via gravity,easy done when your farm is on the top of a ridge.

Can you site the pipe lower than the lagoon?

Albers alligator bags use a plastic pipe to empty and fill from the middle.
