stockman standpipe

[ECFENCING]

Has anyone used a stockman standpipe instead of the regular durso standpipe?

The reason I think I want to use the stockman is that it's difficult to get a street elbow with the eurobracing covering about half of the overflow. I'm having a tough time fitting in the elbow into the Tee inside the overflow box.

Yes, they work just fine. Ken has a newer version that's even better.

not a big fan of the hofer gurgle buster, whatever it's called, needs to be adjusted alot. Would have stayed with durso, but space was limited, might go back or try something else.

Or you can do this:

A bit skeptical of the stockman design due to greater probability of potential blockage compared to durso.... that is if you don't drill enough holes in the standpipe
