Basic Plumbing Question
Anyone know....
is there such a thing as a 1 1/2" 3-Way PVC elbow? In other words...an standard elbow, but with a third opening at 90 degrees (or perpendicular) to the other two. Thanx much,

Do you mean a wye (Y)? Yes, those exist.

No, neither. Not a Y. Not a T.
I wish I could draw it. I don't know how else to describe it. Think of an elbow. Now think of an opening coming out of the side of it. I guess it could be looked at as a Y. but the single opening wouldn't be on the same plane as the other two, but rather at 90 degrees to them. Maybe if I describe where I want to use it.... 6' tank with two corner, bottom drilled, overflows. I want to run a length of PVC under the stand from one overflow (#1) over to the other (#2). Overflow #2 will go straight down. Where overflow #2 meets the pipe from overflow #1 is where I need the 3 way elbow because from there I want to run it straight out the back of the stand to the sump, which will be in behind the main tank. The 3-way elbow would facillitate the movement of water in three different directions at one point.....One direction horizontal from the left (#1 overflow); second direction vertical from straight down (#2 overflow); third direction horizontal out the back of the stand. Hope that makes it more clear. Just wondering if there is such an elbow to make this possible. Thanx much,

Ya, that would work. As long as I have the clearance.
(An engineer, I'm not  ).Edit: Increasing the height of the stand by 3" (yet again) will make that work. Thanx much,

I saw y's at home depot today and they have a 3rd 90 degrees off of them
kind of like a y with the tail up I guess that kind of describes it.
