    I believe a street L is actually a 45* turn, as to a regular L, which is a 90* turn. I would think it would be opposite of that (street...right turn at intersection), but it's not.

    A street ell is exactly what I described, an elbow with a male end and female end. It can be any degree of bend, as they make street 45s and street 90s. It also doesnt matter if its slip or threaded, they are available in both. It is simply any elbow with a male end and female end. A standard elbow has 2 female ends.

    Thanks exactly. Why do you add a T after the bulkhead if your just going to cap one end? Always been curious of that.

    The cap at the end of the T should have a hole drilled in the center. It allows air to escape...supposed to make the overflow quieter.

    Only one of the overflows needs an air vent. The main overflow is fully suctioned
