Hi,

I am looking for a clean way to run the 1/4“ auto water change waste tubing from my Neptune Dos through the wall to the house exterior in order to route to the outside drain.

I was considering running a length of 1/2” PVC as conduit through the wall (and running the waste line tubing through it), but I’m not quite sure what the best install method would be to do this without essentially just having a bit of PVC sticking out of the interior wall. Is there a better way to secure this pvc to the wall and also possibly a better way to connect the 1/4” tubing to the PVC rather than just simply laying it in the pipe?

Could I drill a hole in the wall for a bulkhead and use one of those BRS bulkhead/push connect fittings to attach to that? I’m assuming if I did this, I would need to cut out a square hole above the bulkhead so that I could screw on the bulkhead from the interior of the wall and then cover up the square hole with a solid cover plate? Does anyone have a better solution than that?

thanks!
 
How do you want it to look from the outside of your home?
Theres tons of options you could think up lol.

Do you have a crawlspace?

Nope no crawlspace. We are on a slab. For the outside, I was just going to drill the 1/2” hole in the stucco, attach a 1/2” flange to the wall, and have the pipe going through the wall, through the flange, and connect to a 90° street elbow to simply drain out the water onto the pavement (it’s the side yard of the house).

The interior house side, however, has me guessing a little bit. I could just attach yet another flange on the interior side and cut the pipe off at the flange and then simply run the waste water 1/4” tubing into the pipe, but that feels a little unfinished to me? Dunno
 
Hi there,
No drain line should be smaller than an inch,
Best way would be to have the waste line terminate into a 2” pvc tundish inside the sump cabinet and reduce to 1” and have a trap (waterseal) under the tundish and run the pvc drain as required out side. Simple elbow on the outside of house facing down and terminating above ground level.
the trap under the tundish stops drafts and bugs climbing up the drain.
Hopes this helps
