Ali baba water feature

Hi,

 

I have a client with an ali baba terracotta urn water feature.  It needs repairing.  I thought I had sorted it . But it needs the proper fittings to connect the pump tubing at the bottom of the pot to a pipe that goes inside the pot in the center and up to the top of the pot. I am struggling to find the right fittings. Any help would be great.

Thanks 

 

Richard

    Do you mean a water feature featuring Ali Baba, which is how I originally read it or a water feature from Alibaba?

    Reading it again you did say Ali Baba URN, so I would not have thought the pipework was too involved, however I just wondering if it could be imperial rather than metric.

    When plumbing American fridge freezers for customers I have run into issues when they have lost the original plumbing fittings supplied with the appliance, because they have 1/4” Speedfit type fittings.

    However these are available in Ireland, so in the past I got them from a small hardware shop in Northern Ireland through EBay.

    There is a firm in Norwich selling 1/4”, 5/16” and 3/8” Speedfit on EBay, they are listed as being for fridges, beer coolers and vending machines.

Palisade fence, single or double.
I've used spike without concrete for panel fencing. Don't think I'd like to use them on close board without concrete because of the extra weight. 
I figured out method for the spikes. Used a 6ft digging pushed…"

Hi all,I'm erecting a close board timber fence in clay soil. Due to the clay and poor drainage I'm thinking of using fence spikes. Would clay be suitable? Would it provide enough stability for a 1.8 mt high fence? I'm considering using 15cm wide…

"It's interesting though how many customers see any creature within their garden territory as an intruder . 
Fear of the unknown perhaps ? 
Must admit though the unfortunate  label of slow worm does them no favours . "
