what's the temp rating on that pvc? I've seen typical plumbing use pvc from 140-221 deg max ratings.

PVC

It is called chlorinated poly vinyl chloride,or cpvc.The brand I use is rated at 280 deg.f at a working pressure of 60 psi.I ran one in a car since the first pictures of the pan were posted up last year and it has not deformed or shown any signs of trouble.I can easily make it from copper tubing but i was unhappy with its poor fit in the pump neck regardless of the variety of o rings I tried.

Pipe
In use as plumbing materials, CPVC exhibits comparatively high impact and tensile strength and is non-toxic. In pressurized systems, it can be used with fluids up to 80°C (176 F) and higher in low-pressure systems. It does require specialized solvent cement for assembly. Depending on local building codes, it can be used in hot and cold water systems as well as hot and cold chemical distribution systems in conditions where metal pipe is not indicated.

Nothing that would be anywhere near enough to compromise it since its on the suction side and never pressurized.

I'm not attacking, Chris...trust me, I'm just asking questions. I really like the pan and pick-up. If cpvc works, it looks like the price savings is passed to us. Win win situation.

I think he mentioned he chose it beacuse it fit the pump bore better than the 1/2 inch copper tubing, not for cost savings

why not bend up some aluminum tubing to the same basic shape and machine a part to get your great fit and weld it on? you need to mahine the plastic part anyway and aluminum is super easy to machine?

just a idea?

You could but the price of the final product will go up for the fabbing and materials.
