how to connect everhard pit boss to storm pit

[Tony_A]

 

Hi there,

im adding a pit to my landscape storm water drainage to filter out silt etc… just wondering how to connect the pit boss to the pit itself. I understand how to sit the adapter to the outside of the pit but it has places for screws I’m assuming and doesn’t feel like a great idea to put holes into a water tight container. Also what kind of silicone would I use for these?

thanks in advance.

Tony.

Hi  @Tony_A 

Fairly straight  forward  basically cut out the  hole in the side of the ever hard pit and connect the pit boss with some silicon and the screws.

Here is a link with photos that might help

Hi @Tony_A,

It's great to see that @Jewelleryrescue has already pointed to the previous discussion on this topic. A few dabs of silicon over the screws will seal them sufficiently. 

Let us know if you have further questions.

Much appreciated guys thank you. Just to confirm is there any particular silicone I should be using? Selleys roof and gutter, will that work?

hi @Tony_A 

Get some PARFIX brand silicon for wet areas its less money per caulking tube to date.

$8.85.   I would silicone inside and out as it will be in the ground a long long  time.

enjoy.

Evening @Tony_A 

Just to show a couple more pics of the pit and connections. This was from some stormwater work I did a couple of years back.

I didnt use any silastic Yeah I know I probarly should have but figured to come back and do so later.... Fast forward a couple of years and still nope. However its working very well I have covere dthe pvc pipes in gravel which also will funnel any water down the path of least resistance
