Plumbing Thru Exterior Wall?
I was wondering if anybody here actually plumbs their sump, chiller or any equipment thru an exterior wall? If, how do you house your equipment outside?
Got pix? Kev |

I actually just installed a sump in a room built outside someone's house and then plumbed it with 1" PVC through an exterior wall. This was not my idea......
It has actually worked out ok; the only problem is that there is some vibration that increases the amount of noise coming from the tank. If I had it to do over again, I would wrap the PVC in pipe insulation first. I think that would do the trick.
