I need help with fittings for 3 and 4 inch pipe	Can't Post

I cannot find any fittings for joining 55 gallon drums.I am using 3 inch PVC and 4 inch PVC. Frown

I could try toilet flange but I am concerned there would not be a good seal at barrel. Even if I add a gasket. Unsure

Any information on what kind of connectors I can use would be helpful. Unimpressed

I saw some Flanges Koi38 used but I have not been able to find anything like that.

The normal and somewhat expensive connectors are "bulkhead" or tank fittings.

A local plumbing store is the best place to find the connectors in your neck of the woods (USA)?

Hi Virginia,

Those connectors I used can be bought from your local hardware or plumbing supplies, they called floor flange. If you having probs locating it you can also use uniseals, you can get this locally also Smile

rgds,
