How do ya attach the Loc-line?

[Imzadi]

I got a piece of 3/4" loc-line from a LFS. It was just in an empty tank, in the back, and he gave it to me for 10 bucks. It has 3 pieces of... tube, then a Y, then about 18" of pipe, and then a 3" flat thing on the end.

My question is... can I pull it apart? Make one leg short, and the other long...


And how the hack do I attach it to 3/4" PVC? I am betting there is supposed to be some kinda adapter... but if I don't have one... how can I attach it? Can I glue/silicone/epoxy a chuck of 3/4" pipe into it?

Ideas?

Been there, but thanx.

No way to adapt it without ordering more parts for it... ?

to adapt it to 3/4" pvc you will need a 3/4" slip/fpt coupler which you can get at lowes. depending on how you are running it into the tank (over the top?) you might want it in an elbow or a t-fitting instead....same idea slips on a 3/4" pipe & other end of it has 3/4" female threads.

then, this part screws into the 3/4" female pipe thread end & the loc-line snaps on it

I guess I am buying stuff... :-(

You can't get the Loc-Line stuff at any of the lowes type stores, I bet...

that'd be a big negative
