If you need more volume, build several. Use adel clamps or pipe strap to secure it to the box and have the fill side elevated 4"-6" above the end with you bib/valve. As far as securing it, make it where its toolless or at most a screw stick to loosen it up so it can be taken off for filling and cleaning
Title: Re: dog box water storage Post by: halfbreed on December 02, 2014, 02:24:13 pm about 5' of 4'' pvc with a 90 on the back end with an inside the hub cleanout fitting [ easier to fill ] and on the delivery end you can get a 4'' x 3/4'' reducer the 3/4 should be threaded to accept an ordinary hose bib . and strap it down . the 90 on the back allows you to fill it with water without removing the tube from the mounts .
