Thanks guys,
There is no copper at the correct size for it to work.
I had to use plastic pipe. The top is the hardest part as there is no way to make one except for molded plastic.
The color must go but I need to get a lathe to make it correctly. I rushed the holes but drilling will not work on the plastic.
I think they sell threaded black pipe for irrigation so I will check.
I'll hit the depot on Monday.
