I'm in process on my beananimal drain system for my 200g w/ external OF.

The heavy duty gate valves I got for 1.5" plumbing from Bulk Reef Supply are very heavy and don't offer any bracketing for attaching them to supports. So I'm wondering if I should plan for it to be "upright" (perpendicular to the standard valves on the beananimal designs).

My question is, would it affect operation of the siphon channel to have a two right angle elbows, one before and one after the gate valve?

(The end of the tube will be 1" below the water level of the sump.)
