it seems they only make 3.5 inch pipe in china and not the usa, i have tried all the stores and no way to get pipe.also when installing it i didn't use their fittings but decided to use better pex fittings,well i snapped the cold water fitting right off.but that was a plus as i was able to just slip a piece of rubber hose over the cold side and on to the T that i made.i now have to remove the T'S from the tanked water heater that is under the sink.i will try some 3 inch pipe that i will expand with a muffler expander for the exhaust. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320514209970&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1 123 |

Try a hot rod catalog! Three to three and a half is a common pipe size in exhaust systems! Try JEGS they stock a lot of transition pipe and in stainless. YMMV, regards John L |

I'm With junkman42 on this one! Hot rod shop or even a good muffler shop should stock PLENTY of 3.5 pipe! A muffler shop could even bend it to your needs! |

like i said $40 at the napa store for just the elbow and the only muffler shop in town has no 3.5 inch also napa sells 10 foot sticks and will not cut. i have a tailpipe expander i will try to use on a 3 inch pipe from home depot. |
