HFP75's - 55 Galllon

[hfp75]

So, Today I started working on my Coil. I am using a 3' x 4" PVC pipe. Generally, what I have read online is that its 2' but I have added an extra foot or 50% of capacity which should mean that I eventually could run it abit faster and still be ok.

My coil is 3/8 OD 1/4 ID semi-rigid tube that was a PITA to get coiled into the 4" pipe. Once again most directions talk about 50' and I'm using 75' another 50%. Here is a pic.

I cut a hole and glued in a double female threaded adapter that I need to make sure doesnt move as it is gonna be more of a bulkhead. This is the 'Tank Water IN'. Pic...

To add some strength to it I added the end flange over top the normal pipe at the adapter. It is a snug fit and well PVC glued in place.

To ensure some more strength I have JB Welded the outside with a good sized application. This is kinda visible in this pic.

Here is a shot of the bottem. It is a threaded end cap. Just in case I need to get into this thing. Inside at the top I added a 90 degree elbow to the end of the 3/8 / 1/4 tube, just to make sure the tank water comming in heads to the middle. This elbow narrows the ID just a bit more and I am not sure about this. This is the narrowest Diameter of all the tubes (the bottleneck). If I need to remove it I can since its on the threaded end. The flow shouldnt be much either so, in theory it should work.
