Re: which pipe to get

Hello @pglushkov 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about repairing your PVC pipe work.

 

Thanks for sharing the photos of your stormwater pipe. Your second photo actually shows you what pipe size you'll be needing which is 100mm. But in regards to what part you'll need, it will be necessary for you to provide us with a little bit more information. The leaf catcher's purpose is to divert leaves, branches and debris from blocking up your storm drain, you will get incidental splashes of water coming out of the catcher due to its position. Generally speaking, the leaf catcher is placed at the top to prevent water from hitting the screen at speed. 

 

But if you are planing on linking your stormwater pipes together, I suggest engaging the services of a licensed plumber for safety and compliance. 

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

 

Eric
