Drain design HELP

[Corso312]

I'd use a 1 1/2" pvc floor drain, not that goofy thing.

Can't you just sizzle a small funnel to the underside of your table and run it into a 1 inch pvc or no room?

How thick is your table? Is it wood?

plywood, not thick, the chipboard stuff

Here's another

I'd use a floor drain and and it sounds like you are using particle board.. I'd trace the floor drain with a marker and etch it out so the top of the drain was flush with the top of table.

So I would make the Hole bigger and use something like this ?

The plastic goes between the top ?
How would I hook a hose up to it?

Thx for the help bro

Exactly... You can put a reducer or two on and get it down to whatever size ya need for that hose.

Ah OK, I hope they sell skinny ones. Cause I've only got like 3 inches or so to work with lol

3" huh... Might need something like this... The drain from the pan is 1"
You could mount this pan underneath.

what about drilling a couple small holes through the side of the existing fitting?

i mean theres probably 3" from the floor to my plywood, so not much room underneath

what about drilling a couple small holes through the side of the existing fitting?

what do u mean by this? the rubber and the fitting itself have a bit of a lip and i believe thats giving me my grief.

im not very handy so not sure how to get this working lol

Drill just above the rubber so the water can run out & completely drain
Drilling through the lip might work

theres a lip, but i think this would be a little hard to do and wouldnt work out well........uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Buy a 2 dollar funnel, use stubby screws and silicone from underneath (coating the exposed wood in the hole). Run it into a1 inch pvc line or whatever you have and bingo you're done. Don't waste money on fittings and bullshit, theres the fancy more expensive waste of money way and there's the functional budget way. Tuck your liner under beforehand up and under...you get what I'm saying. Keep it simple.

hm, if i can find a small enough funnel that may work,

so
1. attach funnel under neath ( attaching hose or something to it leading to drain )

but what do i do with my 1" hole and plastic on the top? not quite understanding that part.


thanks again for the ideas, and if anyone else has another please jump in

He means the funnel is the drain, wide side up and flush with the plastic and hose attatch to skinny side of funnel on bottom with a hose clamp.

so what your saying is.

if the funnel is a 4" diameter, i have to make a 4" hole in the wood, and wrap the plastic underneath ? caulking the top inside lip ?
