On that web page you'll find 2" and 4" drywash tower plans using PVC. Plans come with screens and instructions on use.

You can also search here and find a couple of threads with a bill of materials showing what you need to buy.

I don't think anyone has tried to make money off plans for a pvc column. I think you should use a 3 or 4 inch pipe and use whatever adapters you need to make it work for your application.

People have had problems with PVC in larger diameters. So keep it small. The fittings are what works for you.

Be careful though....PVC will split over time...
Just ask Chad or GCG...
