R-3 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Okay since I got your guys attention I need a couple answers. So my drain on my frag tank is 1-1/2". I need to feed my Dart from this drain. So my Darts intake is 2". What is the best way to go about this? Should I reduce right at the intake of the pump to 1-1/2"? Help me! Im not sure if this will damage the pump.

180Bob Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 On our closed loop, I went with two 1 1/2" bulkheads. I then feed them into a 2' tee and then into our Dart. In your case I would switch to 2" as close to the feed through as practical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izzypop Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I have seen sequence say in the past that 1 1/2" intake is okay for the dart. not sure if that is still the case. Email them and they get back to you quick or post them on RC in there forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
