    Hey guys never used this stuff and currently my return pipe is just a bunch of 90* bends to get from the hose over the lip of the tank and then in. I want to be able to angle it, in 2 directions. So i guess the question is what piece do i use to connect the loc-line to the pvc? Or do i jsut scrap the pvc and connect the loc-line to the flex tubing i have running up from the return pump?

    I know i will need a Y piece and then 2 pieces of loc-line and then 2 of the end nozzles. but what connects all this to the pvc or flex tubing? and how does it connect?

    I think there is a piece that threads into a female end of pvc. So if i have a 1' line running up, and i want it to split to 2 should i use a 1/2" Y pieces of loc-line? If it splits 1" down too two 1/2" tubes this should not restrict flow correct? And then should i just use the 1 1/4" flare nose for 1/2 loc-line?
