Evening ladies and gentleman and Scatz:hi:

What have people used to connect their air pump to a ring main system? I have a koi air and want to connect it to some waste pipe so I can run a ringmain around the fish house and then tap into it for air to the tanks

Any idea people?

Cheers

On a system I had a while back, I used 2" waste pipe to make the ring.
I incorporated one of these (washing machine drain spigot) into the ring,
which has a graduated opening.

I then used a bit of eheim piping from the pump to the spigot, with a couple
of hose clips to hold it place.
I used these for the air out
