Fogging hook up to PVC pipe...

[JuniorC]

Yes, I prefer the top fill ones though. Way easier for day to day fill up.

Didn't think about that. Made it easier lol thank you

So pvc from beginning to end?

Yep.
Depending on your fogger, you may have to do some drilling to get the pipe to fit.
I used a pipe cap and drilled through that with a step drill bit

First one I bought was one that had to be lifted off and turned upside down to fill. With about a half gallon reservoir. I thought to myself "this is going to get old real quick"
Then I found a top fill with a gallon reservoir. The clouds parted and the choir began to sing lol

That's genius!!!! I think that's what I needed to do with mine. I couldn't do the straight PVC cuz I couldn't get it lined up DIRECTLY where the pipe ran so I would have to run a small horizontal line, if I did I think I would have it pitched so it wouldn't hold water.

Do you have any pics of how yours is set up?

For mine the 1-1/2 inch pvc fits directly into the humidifier perfectly. I do stuff some plastic wrap down and around it to get a better seal. Will try to get pictures for you.

I'm in the process of rearranging the enclosure's so there is only one hooked up right now .
The plan is to plumb another fogger into the one pictured and use it on the cages to the right (2 xl's)
I have another basket above the one pictured, and I will connect two more and run pipe down from it to feed the cages on the left 5 larges)
And another basket on the other side of the shelf, with another fohger, which I will use to feed the cages to right of the two xl's (2 mediums).

I went with 1 1/4" pipe and tees and elbows for fog exit.
Have not tried drilling the pipe .
I need to find a formula or a diagram of which sized holes to drill and where to place them so there will be even fog being dispersed down the length of the pipe.

I’ve been using a 3 way collapsable splitter tube for mine, which works fine... but because its collapsable, water can build up in the tubes.

I need to set up a rack wide
fogger for the babies, but I am hesitant to use PVC as its known to release chemicals into soil and water. Copper is ridiculously expensive, though, and pvc is the cheaper and def the easier method. I want to check out some of the water-supply tubes available to see if any are rigid enough for me to drill, and cheaper than copper.

edit to add: the pvc point may be moot anyway since the babies are in plastic bins, too.

The habistat is good like that can be filled without moving it . I need to make some adjustments all I could get today 20 mm pvc conduit . 5 eight mm holes. Fs with lock down in the uk haven't been out in weeks you would have thought I was going to the Maldives nope hardware store yeah lol . Might go for smaller tube and bigger holes will see

So got a 5 percent increase in humidity with pvc fog curtain picked up by the govee (no direct fog near it )and near 15 %where my girl sleeps . So reasonably pleased as only the back and one side are closed in

Right on!

It's hard to tell from the pic, are you getting even coverage ?

 

[Flick boy]

Not answering your question but there is is a 10 % variation the thing is with a half open enclosure that there is a high directional humidity stream in the area where she sleeps

Getting more even coverage now had to up the back and side holes to 6/8 of a mil and had too up the front holes to 1mm to get the pressure right.
