So I'm building an under current system with a few buckets and I'm trying to construct a build which doesn't connect all buckets to one another with PVC pipe. Instead, there is a small 1 foot length of 1" dia PVC pipe inserted into the side of each bucket through a Uniseal. The PVC protrudes from the outside of the bucket only a few inches, at which point I'd like to attack a 1" ID flexible vinyl tube so that the buckets are movable and the system is not rigid.
I know that the vinyl tube is connected to a barb, so then the question is how to connect the PVC tube to the barb, or the vinyl tube? Any ideas?
I suck at plumbing and have spent hours at Home Depot trying to mix and match the right parts and connectors but something is always the wrong size.
I know there are lots of clever DIYers here so I thought this'd be a snap for someone with experience
Would a barb like this slip inside the 1" PVC tube and be glued to it?
