Lockline fitting
 

I currently have your typical return. With the funnel type end piece on the lock line.
I'm wondering if anyone has ever seen or might have a source for a end piece that would act as a defuser. Instead of focusing the water flow I'm looking for something that would spread the water out. Same volume of water just increased coverage and reduseing the pressure at a given point. Sorry having a hard time explaining.

I don't even know if this is possible....but I was looking at a vacuum attachment at modularhose.com (http://modularhose.com/ll25.htm). They only come in the 2.5" hose size, so not sure how feasible it would be! It just struck me as a way to perhaps diffuse some of the flow that usually seems rather direct and focused coming out of a regular loc line fitting.

Edit: nevermind, the link doesn't work. Just go to www.modularhose.com and select the 2.5" ID System in the menu bar at the top.

Do you mean like a flare nozzle instead of the typical round nozzle? Like this one?

Ya Drew that's what I want.

mr_alberta, that will actually increase the preasure over a greater area. so 1/2 what I'm looking for.

JasonI know they carry them at JL's and probably OA.

J&L have those...

Ya but those aren't what I want. If you look at Der_Iron_chef's link you will see what I want

Maybe in eductor?

I've stuck Hydor rotating water deflector thingys on my return lines. Works great.

Arn't those rated at about 300gph? Jason may have trouble slowing things down that much.

Jason...why don't you just order form modularhose.com? Or do you want the same sort of thing in a smaller diameter?
