Lock Line Question:

Mel 2038 · 08/09/2013, 11:56 AM

I have two returns coming into my tank with U tubes (something like you would find on a Magnum filter) on them. My goal is to order some Lock Line and some Y fittings to make four returns. My problem is that I can't find a 1/2" U tube to connect to Lock Line. I know I could build something out of PVC but that's not the way I was looking to go. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Would a cord grip be a possibility? You could maybe use a 1/2" threaded PVC coupling to go between that and the LocLine adapter. I have use them for inline heating, and they hole up to the flow fine.
