Installing an elephants trunk

Well, we have reached the point of lockdown where the garden and house have been sorted, so a battered and uncared for SR4 is now sitting on the drive having moved up from a "someday" project to a "now" project.

One of the jobs I need to do is to install an elephants trunk. It seems to have been glassed over.....

I will be investigating but in the meantime, any advice on suppliers or fitting?

Rich

I would make sure you are not looking at the outlet for the flooding hull system which a previous owner has glassed over - you don't want to put an elephants trunk there

Nope - most definitely the drain hole. Had in open over the weekend (a block of (wet) wood had been stuck over it). Next job is to sort it out properly. Tube and fitting on the way from Seamark Nunn
