2) order half inch lockline fitting to get the shape that you want. For me, I have a 1/2 lockline y fitting, with a segment and a nozzle on each side. I would assemble all the lockline fittings together then add it to the reefer return

Note - there is a special tool to join lockline fittings; or you can just your hands and muscle power.

Very important note! Don't have long segments that point down more than a few mm below the water surface... the stock reefer's nozzle is designed not to point down too much so that when the power is out, only a small amount of water siphons into the sump. If you have a long nozzle that sticks down, then you will get more water siphoning into your sump and you might get into an overflow situation! Make sure you simulate a power outage by turning off your return and make sure that you sump doesn't overflow
