Thinking about this today; I may end up making a parts/price list of everything purchased for this 40 build.
Are you married? If so, this is a bad idea.

I would add more unions, on the return plumbing especially. Oh and don't be afraid of 90° Elbows, the head pressure they produce is almost identical to 45° fittings.
Yea I will add 3 more unions marked in RED

@Why-Me why'd you choose a T instead of a Y? Not a criticism, a genuine question.
I couldn't find a Y on BRS site lol, laziness is all.

BRS is an hour away, I get it next day or that day if need be. And can get more pieces when I will eventually not have enough parts lol Plus I don't like the white schedule 40
Is a T going to be louder? Again, serious question.
That I have ZERO idea, I'll let ya know lol, unless I find a Y

The getting extra pieces when needed is nice, but the price on there coloured plumbing is pretty high when compared to other retailers though. Something to keep in mind and they also have a rather limited selection of fittings, although the grey Sch 80 they have a decent selection of but realistically that is seriously overkill.

I already have half the pieces and the colored pvc I got given to me for free except the purple I bought on huge sale from BRS 2 weeks ago
