so how do i modify it?

You just grind down the flange that keeps it from going in backwards.

erm.. sorry i don't get you.

the best way i think is the hot oil. it works and you wont get flaming pvc ._. all the hot oil does is soften up the pvc to be 'modeled' in a way. Here the link to the spudtech tutorial :

That has a step by step and a what to do and what not to do. Id reccomend it just because his results looked decent. I plan on trying it as soon as i get myself some pvc pipe.

Wow, thnks! but now the only problem is the 3'' pipe im using... the flaring proces and my pipe- could it really work?

WHat about flanges!
No oil or modding involved.

Great idea frankrede.. just wanna ask- dont flanges have an open hole at the end??

You remove this:
And if you get the right one it will have a bowl/cone shape to it in the rear.

ouh remove the edges u mean?

Yes. exactly. And stick that in backwards, into the 4" end of a 4x3" bell reducer.

bell reducer is the normal reducer rite? sorry but im a noob at pipes and stuff

It's just like a regular bushing but in a bell shape.

a reducer is a reducer the technical name for them are brushings and couplings brushings have one male side and one female side, couplings have two female sides they dont always reduce

Yes the "Bell Reducer" is like a coupling but with one end smaller than the other.

I assumed it was a photo shop but being a small photo it was hard to tell..


Thanks for the welcome, I am not that new I just finally registered.

I agree the altered bushing with the bell reducer would look the best.
