Well i thought i would get started on my manifold for the return, ive done some research on them, but still up in the air about which design works best for me.
Here is a picture of the ones i thought of.  The points sticking out are where the loclines would come out of. and the front view of the tank, is the back side with the holes for the CL and also the overflow. The only problem with the right one is that the returns on the CL system is pretty close to the top and i dont really want the loclines touching each other. but the first design is that i will lose alot of space to be able to reach my arm in, i would have to reach over the manifold. any thoughts.

stay away from the 90 angles in the corners, go with the 45 in the corner s better flow. that that i would let you know less head loss

i thought you only get head loss on vertical pipes not the horizontal ones, and i cant really get away from them because this is going on the top of the tank.
edit: i guess i put 45's in and it would work, i just came from the rona and i bought more, now i have to go out again  Last edited by Boomboy; 01-06-2009 at 11:21 PM.

yeah i did, but it just makes it harder to sit on the top part of the eurobracing, well kinda but now i have to go out to get 4 more pieces i think i will wait till the rest of the plumbing comes in.

ok... You posted this earlier... but later on you mentioned your CL was running thru the manifold instead?...
So does that mean your sump return is coming back thru the 4 bulkheads in the tank?
