|  Return fittings
Anyone familial with these fittings?
My question is just if the 1/2" ratings on these are the same for 1/2 pvc fittings? |

"K" is the one you want to begin off of the internaly threaded bulkhead (if you have that)
you begin with that and continue on flares,ends,ball socket/s ( to entend the length )
they "pop" apart ,add as needed to fit your requirements .
to my knowledge they are the same thread as run of the mill "pipe threading"
what is your application ? | |

The 3/4 is a little over 1/2 I.D the 1/2 is like 5/15 I.D but that will increase the flows pressure .. If you use them don't buy the pliers worthless and not needed its will snap right together and apart . A slight smear of light oil I use Vaseline in and on the ball and socket will make then slip together and less cracking . They all have a Standard NPT on the male adaptors _________ Some of the world's greatest feats were accomplished by people not smart enough to know they were impossible (Doug Larson) | |

what is your application ? | Have four returns to my tank but they are hard plumbed with 1/2" PVC. Plan on buying one of Oceans Motions devices and hooking it up. Just need to find a way to direct the flow.
As always a thanks to everyone who responded. | |
