Am I going to have an issue?

smmscott · 03/14/2007, 06:01 AM

I have an ampmaster 3000 for a closed loop. The tank I have has 2 one inch bulkheads in the back. If I plumb them together into a 2 inch pipe and then to the pump and I going to be running into issues or limiting myself too much? Thanks guys.

The area of 2 1" bulkheads is going to be less than the area of the 2" intake. So your going to be restricting the flow to the pump. This can create issues with the pump.
