Need advice on Loc-Line return hoses/nozzles

nycman · 06/30/2017, 08:44 PM

Hi. I have returns that are 3/4" slip (no thread) on the display tank side. How can I most easily connect short loc-line hoses with round nozzles. Will 3/4" loc-line hoses "stick" right into the threadless bulkhead? Or do I need an adapter of some sort?

You don't have many options.
You can go with this type of adapter

Or you will have to change out your bulkhead to a threaded type. I haven't found a Loc-line adapter....Good luck!

You will need an adapter male slip to 3/4 Female threaded. You do not need to glue in the adapter, just press it into the joint with a fair amount of pressure.
