Oh, you're in the danger zone there. I've read Hydraulics 101 at least seven times... and realize now that I may never graduate.Optoman said:Time for me to re-read hydraulics 101 for some pipe layout
I wonder how many people this happens to.... I had similar trials during the plaster phase, 3 consecutive unscheduled days off work waiting for delivery of the right tile, all to no avail as I finally relented: "Just plaster it!" (with the wrong tile.)Optoman said:The brick coping had been a slight delay-factor over the past week. First it showed up as the wrong color. The next batch showed up damaged. The subsequent batch showed up damaged again. The fourth batch showed up fine. Anyway it is finally installed and the grouting will occur tomorrow. Good times ! Pic forthcoming post grouting.

Thx greatly for the suggestions.
Yes the urns will have their own valve. I was contemplating rigging them as the "spa" for the Suntouch control panel. If that won't work then a ball valve will go in for flow control.
The urns will lay on their sides, but on the two radii in the back corners. We put the radii in for the exact reason you cite, dribble protection as we can slide the urns forward on the radii to lean over the water.
With respect to the urn itself, we searched long to find one with a negative edge on the lip when laid over. If necessary, we'll tilt the urn forward a touch until nothing runs backwards to the decking. If further necessay, I'll dremel out a more aggressive recess below that edge -- just as you suggested.
I guess I should stick a hose in it to see what it's going to do
Any recommendations on where I may find any of those sealing products you mentioned? Is that a home depot/lowes type of thing or is that a speciailty store item?
And thanks again -- great suggestions!!!
Yup... much improved over that porous-looking bullnose that is featured in the last picture. You were pretty darn smert to do this project in the winter.Optoman said:If by chance anyone else reads this and is considering brick coping -- be sure to prepare your builder that this wouldn't be acceptable, and is *not* remedied by sealer.
