I know this has been reinvented a million times but here is my version:
It is a 1" overflow but is seated inside of a 2" pipe. It is a bit more compact and clean design.

Yeah, it works just like the original sticky version. However the pipe that the tank water flows into is a 2" and the 1" that flows over the side of the tank is inside of it. I did some calculations and there is the same square inches available in the 2" as there is in the 1"

so it flows into the 2" then back up the 1" then over the tank? is the other 2" pipe for a siphon break or what?

i like the idea .. because you dont need to have the 2 pipes inside the tank .. and 2 outside .. much more clean looking..

The other 2" acts just like the pipe from the original. Allowing it to restart in case of a power failure.
