Modular Hydroponic System from 50 mm PVC Pipe – for Growboxes

💧 Modular Hydroponic System from 50 mm PVC Pipe – for Growboxes

A flexible and easy-to-assemble hydroponic system based on 50 mm PVC pipe.
Allows you to build any length installation perfectly fitting your grow tent (growbox). The system is mounted directly on the structural pipes of the tent, saving space and enabling easy expansion.

🔧 Key Features and Uses:

• construction from widely available 50 mm PVC pipes
• compatible with standard growbox structural pipes
• water supply and drainage via 6 mm flexible tubing (igielit)
• easy assembly and modular length adjustment
• ideal for hydroponic growing methods (NFT, DWC, and variations)
• supports connection to water pumps for circulation or irrigation

🖨 Materials and Parameters:

• main pipe: 50 mm PVC (standard plumbing or drainage pipe)
• water tubing: 6 mm igielit flexible tubing
• mounting: clips or straps on growbox frame pipes
• high flexibility: cut and join parts to any required length
• the file for the rubber gasket used to mount on the pipe should be printed from an elastic material such as TPU
• the rest of the parts can be printed in PLA; however, due to moisture, intense light, and the need for best layer adhesion (which ensures watertight prints), ASA is recommended
• the length and number of grow baskets can be adjusted to your needs
• holes in the PVC pipe should be made with a 40 mm hole saw suitable for plastic; any uneven edges will be covered, so there’s no need to worry about them

⚠ Notes:

• designed for easy DIY assembly and adaptation
• joints are sealed with B-1000 adhesive, excellent for PVC pipe connections
• alternatively, gaskets or silicone sealant can be used to ensure leak-proof joints
• PVC pipes and igielit tubing are commonly available at building and gardening stores
• mounting clips for the growbox pipes should be fastened securely using any suitable screws
