Im thinking of making the connection to the chiller a flexible connection, just to allow any variations with the rigid supply line mating with the rigid lines running off the chiller. And so I wont have to drill a hole large enough to get the union thru (which is about 1/4" on both sides of the pipe) so i'd need a 1-7/8" hole for a 1-3/8" O.D. pipe.
Already off 2" because my supply manifold is tilted the run along the wall is about 2 inches lower than it should be(this could be solved with an eyehook and some string to tilt the supply manifold up(right now its resting on the totes)) But I kind of like it resting on a tote. Saves me from rigging up some kind of pipe stand the mounts across both totes at the end to support the manifold.
Lost a union in all of this. For that ball valve/drain assembly I put the union on without the screw assembly. Luckily I left enough space off the tee to jigsaw the union off real close. Its not pictured but theres about 1-2mm of space between the tee and the union.
THinking about it i'd have to modify the piping a bit to allow for a barbed nipple to flex connection. But I think its worth it, what do you guys think?
