I received my tubs last Friday and working on reinforcing my shelf and drain.
Here is the list for drain..
1. Flexible Coupling ( 2" x 1 1/2" )
2. 90 degree Elbow (1 1/2" x 1 1/2")
3. Reducer (1 1/4" x 3/4" threaded)
4. Barb to MIP Adapter (3/4" x 3/4")
5. Barb splicer (3/4" x 3/4")
This project is only designed to use with tubing. (Anymore idea?)

Your tubs didn't come with pipes?

It comes with 1 1/2" of PVC pipe. It is good for outdoor application. For indoor, I have to tweak it.

Do you need a valve to shut it off? Looks like it would work as is but would flow alot faster with larger diameter tubing.

The tub come with a pipe to shut down. I agree, larger diamenter tubing will be fast. But I have 20 feet 3/4" tubing to take water out and I don't want to replace it anymore.

3/4 inch should be fast enough. Put a pump on it if you're in a hurry... LOL :)

Bruce,
You are right. I need a pump to drain it quickly. Luckily I have 1/2 HP one for drain.
