2" U-bend?

[Mystery]

Does anyone know where I could find a clear plastic U-bend pipe with about a 2 inch diameter?

Like a sink trap? Lowes/HD in the sink/toilet repair section. Not sure if they are 2"... if not, 2 45's/90's w/ a stub connector ?

Couldn't you just use two "U" tubes?

[CaptainAhab]

Isn't that a circle, parabola, whatever?

BTW: I missed the clear part....

I think the clear part will be the problem. I just saw these at HD yesterday, but they are white or gray. What will you be using it for that needs it to be clear? Knife fish?

My application is very low tech. I want to use it to connect two tanks, it needs to be clear so I can check it isn't filling up with air and to know if livestock "missing" from the tanks are hiding in it.

you will probably have to buy a straight piece, use a hot air gun to heat it up and bend it yourself. that is of course if the clear stuff reacts the same as regular pvc.

Here's a start.. Reg clear PVC, 2 45's/90's and a connector will make your U.. Just not sure where you'd buy it in such small quantity.

Thanks for the tip, when I search for elbows i can find retailers who have them, and I have some PVC glue to make up the shape I need

Kewl.. sounds like you could use reg schd-40 white PVC for the connector between the 45's/90's then it would be mostly clear .. Until the algae/bacteria/gunk slime coat the pipe. Ever look at inside of a canister hose? Yuck
