Adding drain to nyos 120 skimmer

[stez]

So I bought a new nyos 120 skimmer and I want to add a drain mostly because I get lazy and don’t want to clean the cup every few days. And I’m trying to find some hardware to use. I was going to go with a 3/8 ro quick fitting, but I can’t find one with a nut on it, also it needs to be a 90 degree fitting. Has any one done this and if so what fitting did you use? Thanks in advance for the advice.

I did this on my nyos. I drilled and tapped it. Screwed the RO quick fitting in with Teflon.

Were you able to find the correct part? I have the same nyos 120 and as you know there is not much room. If you were able to do this can you tell what exactly what you
went with and where you got it? Did it work ok? Thanks!!!

All you need is a Drill Tap bit, maybe some Teflon tape and RO elbow fitting like the ones listed below.
