Want to make an intake with plastic (ABS, not PVC). Does anyone sell plastic piping in 2.5" with bends and whatnot? A friend told me you could buy it but I can't find it anywhere.

 

Home depot.

The black plastic pipes are ABS. What exactly is sarcastic about his response?

Home Depot carries ABS tubing and PVC tubing.

 

Sorry, i thought you were being sarcastic.

the ABS tubing they sell doesnt have the all important 2.5" diameter nor 'bends" they just have elbows.

 

Just google "plastic tubing".There are many suppliers out there.

 

mcmastercar?

First thing I did. Didn't find anything and didn't find anything at mcmaster. Home Depot is an interesting idea, not sure if they have 2.5" at all though, let alone bends but I'll go take a look.

Your kidding right? Over the years I have bought many different plastic products from several different manufactures.There are dozens of plastics manufactures that will do custom stuff and willingly give solid advice.

Of course not. Why would I be kidding? I didn't see any evidence of anyone wanting to do custom stuff on a one-off basis and I didn't see anyone selling what I was looking for. Most stuff was too small and then there was the "Home Depot" type stuff only in 2" and 3" as far as I could see. Any suggestions?

The first couple company web sites I looked at did tubing as well as custom stuff.Pick up the phone or email a few and see where it goes.This one site has seventeen hundred companies/links.

Thanks! I looked there before but they seemed to require orders like $1k+. I'll have to look closer through the list and find someone that will do a small order.
