Black Poop Pipe Tube

How's that for a thread title? :B

Our Work & Play came with a 4" black tube underneath for holding the sewer pipe. But our RhinoFlex is going to need a 6" diameter pipe. Underneath the camper is all black, including the 4" pipe from the factory. I definitely want another black one to go along side it.

Two questions:
1. What is black PVC pipe called? Seems it has a different name.

2. Where can I get one? Lowe's and Home Depot don't carry it. Any other easy ideas without going to a plumbing warehouse or something?

    The 'grips/tabs' on the RhinoFlex products are considerably bigger than any other makers. The elbow on ours would fit into a 4" opening but you can't get fitting through. The only down we've found with RhinoFlex system.

    Black pipe is ABS

    Black PVC pipe is called PAINTED.

    What I am going to suggest is Vinyl Fence Post...You may be able to find it in BLACK as well as white (or you can paint it)

    Here is one way to mount it...
    Drill two fairly large holes (Like 1 inch) under the spot where you are going to put the bolts (Drill in one side only) Center drill a smaller (bolt size) hole on the other side,, Washer over the head of a stove bolt (This is the one with the smooth head and the square shoulder) up to your frame rail or other clamp that fits OVER the frame rail.. You can leave the oles open (Glue a flap of rubber (Blown bicycle inner tube works well( over the hole (Only glue half of it) so the hole acts as a drain.

    Method 2: You need some square bottomed "U" bolts and some matching brackets Two per rail.

    Put the bolts over the rail, then bring the brackets up under the fence post and apply nylock nuts.. NOTE you need two bolts and two brackets on each end, the bolts go over the rail in front and behind the post, the brackes go bolt to bolt under the post.. (Visualize it)

    Method 3,, Temporary.. Like 2 but use tarp straps around post and frame, Good temp mount.. I will continue using it till I get back to Detroit, take some measurements and visit the store where a now deceased friend of mine worked,,,, They always have a few screws loose there (It is what they sell, Tradesman Fasteners)

    Oh the caps.. On one end use glue or screws to attach a top cap to the fence post

    On the other end I used a comination of screws, hinges and glue and some shims (made from excess post) to make a hinged cover, I use a common sliding bolt latch mounted so DOWN is latched (The hinges are on top) Works great.
  • I have a black holder, made it from a vinyl deck post cover and used a 4" gutter that slides inside. I painted the white post cover black. I also have the Rhino hose with fittings.
  • I don't understand the need for six-inch. Pop the elbow off and it fits in a four-inch bumper tube.
  • The black pipe is call ABS. Lowes in my area has it. If you just can't get the ABS, you can cement white PVC ti it with an all-purpose plumbing cement. Use Krylon Fusion to paint the plumbing black.
